Overview

• Broadcom began shipping its Tomahawk6 networking chip on June 3 to accelerate AI workloads.
• The switch delivers 102.4 Tbps of data capacity—double its predecessor—enabling fewer switches to serve large AI clusters.
• The chip uses a multi-chiplet design built on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s 3nm process for higher efficiency.
• It accommodates more than one million AI accelerators with energy-efficient operations and flexible 100G/200G SerDes plus co-packaged optics.
• Priced under $20,000 per unit, the launch has driven a stock uptick and underscores Broadcom’s push into AI infrastructure.
