Aren't Broadcom network switching SOC the industry standard?
- kijiki 7y agoYes, but those are fixed function designs like Trident or Tomahawk (yes, they name their switch chips after missiles). When Broadcom uses the term SOC, they mean "Switch on a Chip" to differentiate their single chip designs from older multi chip architectures. SiByte was MIPS-based, more like an NPU than an (Broadcom term) SOC.
