Broadcom focuses on custom AI processors

Broadcom is expanding its presence in the artificial intelligence processor market with a new custom chip that utilizes 2nm technology and a 3.5D architecture. This development represents a direct challenge to Nvidia, currently the leader in the sector.

Fujitsu Research, through Naoki Shinjo (SVP, head of advanced technology development unit), provided information on this technological advancement. The choice of a 3.5D architecture suggests a focus on optimizing density and performance, crucial elements for AI workloads.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
