OCTEON 10 - DPU Platform
CN102, CN103, CN106, and CN106S
Marvell’s OCTEON 10 DPU is optimized for challenging hyperscale cloud workloads, 5G transport processing, 5G RAN intelligent controller (RIC) & edge inferencing, carrier & enterprise data center applications and fanless networking edge boxes.
Product Overview
Industry’s first processor family based on 5nm ARM Neoverse N2 platform: OCTEON 10 DPU family is built on TSMC’s 5nm process and incorporates 64-bit ARM Neoverse N2 cores. This technology combination enables a 3x jump in compute performance (SPECint/Core/GHz) and 50% reduction in power over previous generation of OCTEON DPUs.Delivering Superior Performance with innovative Hardware Acceleration Engines: OCTEON 10 sets new standards for power, control and dataplane acceleration with integrated 1 Terabit switch, true inline crypto and highly programmable packet processing. Datapath and security workloads performance ranges from power optimized 50G to 140G. Hardware-based ML engine delivers 100x performance gains over software processing. VPP based hardware accelerators improve packet processing rate by up to 5x.
High Speed I/O: OCTEON 10 family supports advanced I/O interfaces including DDR5, PCIe 5.0, and highly optimized silicon proven 56G SerDes.
