Cavium Networks is expanding its Octeon II family with two new members that upgrade and double the number of cores available on the communications processors to 32. The new products highlight the growing trend to use of multicore architectures to handle increasing processing needs in broadband networks.
The rise of smart phones, netbooks and other mobile devices is driving upgrades in network infrastructure such as Long Term Evolution base stations that will use Octeon II chips. “The dramatic increase in mobile data is a really good trend for us,” said Syed Ali, CEO of Cavium.
