Mediatek takes InFO package to data center
SAN JOSE, Calif. — One of a handful of startups aiming to attack Broadcom’s dominance in Ethernet switching emerges from stealth mode this week. Nephos spun out of Taiwan’s Mediatek and will push packaging technology from TSMC to a new level.
Broadcom held a whopping 94.5% share of the $687 million market for merchant 10–40-Gbit/second Ethernet switch chips in 2015, according to Linley Group analyst Bob Wheeler. Nephos is the latest of three startups to emerge seeking a slice of that pie and one most likely to provide a mainstream alternative, he said.
