Combination of AI, ML, and HPC Driving Significant Bandwidth Growth and Propel 112 Gbps and 224 Gbps SERDES Technologies

Incline Village, Nevada – April 13, 2023 – A newly released report by 650 Group, a leading Market Intelligence Research firm for communications, data center, and cloud markets, indicates that the Merchant Silicon Market grew capacity above 40% in 2022. The report also revealed significant differences in market share between SERDES technology and the Cloud and Enterprise markets.

“Merchant Silicon continues to be the driver for networking growth in the Cloud with two Hyperscalers nearly complete with the migration to 12.8 Tbps and two just starting in 2022,” said Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group. “AI/ML is driving a lot of excitement as some cloud customers will skip 25.6 Tbps and jump straight to adopting 51.2 Tbps as quickly as possible. With each hyperscaler purchasing over one million ports a quarter, the ramp to 51.2 Tbps will be the biggest opportunity for silicon and Ethernet Switching and drive billions of dollars in incremental revenue for vendors.”

The Quarterly Merchant Silicon report indicates Broadcom (Jerico, Tomahawk, Trident) and Marvell (Innovium’s Teralynx) are the top two vendors. The report also includes ASIC coverage from Cisco, NVIDIA, and several other companies with networking ASICs.
