The NIC cards are using Broadcom's Thor 2 chip which started sampling in 2023 and is now in volume production.
Jas Tremblay, vice president and general manager of the data center solutions group at Broadcom, says the Thor 2 is the industry's first 400 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) NIC device to be implemented in a 5nm CMOS process.
"It [the design] gives customers choices and freedom when they're building their AI systems such that they can use different NICs with different [Ethernet] switches," says Tremblay.
