The series includes models with up to 64 Blackhawk7 series-parallel and parallel-series converters. This allows you to get port configurations of 64 × 400GbE, 128 × 200GbE, 256 × 100GbE, 256 × 40GbE, 256 × 25GbE and 256 × 10GbE ports on a single switch. This chip has 31 billion transistors. At 7 nm, it is manufactured by TSMC.
BCM56990 trial samples are already being delivered to cloud computing providers such as Microsoft and Alibaba.
