Broadcom Tomahawk 6 and Tomahawk 6 Davisson
Broadcom's 102.4 Tbps Ethernet switch silicon for AI clusters, with a Davisson variant that integrates optical engines in the package.
- Type
- Technology
- Where it sits
- Merchant switch silicon used by many switch vendors, so it is a shared dependency beneath several branded AI Ethernet products.
- Constraint
- Davisson was described at announcement (8 October 2025) as sampling to early access customers, so volume availability should be checked with vendors.
What we checked
- Broadcom announced Tomahawk 6 Davisson on 8 October 2025 as its third-generation co-packaged optics switch with 102.4 Tbps of capacity and 200 Gbps per channel. (source)
- Broadcom states the design cuts optical interconnect power by 70 per cent against pluggable optics and targets two-tier networks above 100,000 accelerators. (source)
- Broadcom's product page positions Tomahawk 6 for both scale-up and scale-out AI networks. (source)
