Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) said on Monday it has started shipping its Jericho 4 ethernet fabric router, adding to its portfolio of products designed for AI infrastructure.
The company said that the Jericho4 router is a purpose-built platform for the next generation of distributed AI infrastructure, designed to interconnect over 1 million processors across multiple data centers.
Broadcom is capitalizing on the AI wave, driven by soaring demand for its networking and custom AI chips. Last month, Broadcom started the shipment of its breakthrough Ethernet switch, Tomahawk Ultra, for high-performance computing and AI workloads.
“With the Tomahawk 6, Tomahawk Ultra and Jericho4, Broadcom offers a complete networking portfolio for HPC and AI,” the company said.
According to a Reuters report, Jericho4 chips use the same high-bandwidth memory (HBM) designers such as Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) use for their AI processors, in order to mitigate issues around network congestion
Broadcom said to ensure strong security, Jericho4 encrypts data to protect it while moving between data centers, even at the highest traffic loads.
“Manufactured on a 3nm process, Jericho4 features Broadcom’s advanced 200G PAM4 SerDes with industry-leading reach. This eliminates the need for extra components like retimers, resulting in lower power usage, reduced cost, and higher system reliability,” the company said, adding that the chip is fully compliant with specifications developed by the Ultra Ethernet Consortium.
