AI data centers are hitting new limits, and next‑generation interconnects are becoming essential. EE Times | Electronic Engineering Times took a detailed look at how the Marvell acquisitions of XConn Technologies Holdings Inc. and Celestial AI strengthen the company’s position across both electrical and optical fabrics. The article explores the growing importance of CXL for memory disaggregation, UALink for scale‑up accelerator fabrics, and hybrid switching architectures designed to meet the bandwidth and latency demands of large‑scale AI systems. It also examines how these technologies address the memory wall, enable multi‑rack AI clusters, and shape the competitive landscape for next‑generation connectivity silicon. 👉 Read the full analysis: https://mrvl.co/4qkv4ug

AI infrastructure is entering a new phase, and optical scale‑up connectivity is emerging as a defining technology. In this in‑depth analysis, Steve McDowell of NAND Research examines how the acquisitions of Celestial AI and XConn Technologies Holdings Inc. position Marvell for the next generation of AI data center architectures. The article explores the shift from copper to optical interconnects, the growing role of CXL memory disaggregation, and the importance of UALink‑based scale‑up fabrics as AI models and accelerator clusters continue to expand. It also looks at the broader market implications as hyperscalers seek higher bandwidth, lower power, and more scalable system designs. Read his breakdown here: https://mrvl.co/4sY7eGH

Optical interconnects are becoming essential as AI clusters scale, and Celestial AI plays a key role in that transition. In this Six Five Media interview, Chris Koopmans, President and COO at Marvell, explains how the Celestial AI acquisition strengthens the scale‑up portion of the data center network. He discusses why optical fabrics are needed as bandwidth demands outgrow copper, how this technology enables larger XPU clusters, and how it complements earlier acquisitions that helped build the Marvell scale‑out switching and optics portfolio. ▶️ Watch the full conversation: https://mrvl.co/4jKsc7I
