Networking for AI: Ethernet Scale-Up and Scale-Out

Broadcom Ships Jericho4, Enabling Distributed AI Computing Across Data Centers

Scales 1M+ XPU Clusters Beyond Single Facility Limits

Major Announcement


The Jericho4 family is engineered to extend AI-scale Ethernet fabrics beyond individual data centers, supporting congestion-free RoCE and 3.2 Tbps HyperPort for unprecedented interconnect efficiency. Scale Up Ethernet (SUE), Tomahawk Ultra, Tomahawk 6, and Jericho4 all play a very important role in enabling large scale distributed computing systems within a rack, across racks, and across data centers in an open and interoperable way.
