Marvell has a proven track record in processors

Billions of CPUs shipped

15+ years of high-performance multi-core CPU expertise

Multiple generations of Arm®-based server CPUs

Arm architecture tremendous foundation for server design

• Modern 64-bit architecture

– No legacy

– Smaller core, better power

• Custom designed for data centers

– No common core design for desktops/laptops/servers

– Area & power advantages

– Single core/thread performance now comparable to x86

• Maturing ecosystem

• New Arm native use cases at the cloud and edge

• Open architecture allows competition & DIY
