1 Results
Benefit from the rich feature set of Intel® Tofino™ with double the bandwidth, up to 12.8 Tb/s.
Protocol-independent switch architecture (PISA) allows you to adjust protocols in software.
Code-specific functionalities into Ethernet switch packet processing, with more opportunities to innovate.
Support advanced use cases: machine learning/deep learning fabrics, load balancers, 5G, and more.
Find the right balance of performance to energy consumption with reduced complexity and low latency.
Get more resources to generate packet lookup tables and export metadata to other admin tools.
Scale performance even further with a higher-bandwidth ceiling and higher-speed SerDes lanes than the previous-generation programmable network switch ASIC. The Intel® Tofino™ 2 architecture also provides more packet processing resources to handle the most-demanding workloads in distributed applications, virtual machine scaling, artificial intelligence, and serverless deployments.
Intel develops a copackaged 12.8 Tb/s programmable Ethernet switch with a 1.6 Tb/s photonics engine, for use in hyperscale data centers.
