Marvell introduced the industry’s first 2nm custom Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), targeting next-generation AI accelerators and data center silicon. This new memory block achieves up to 6 gigabits of high-speed SRAM and claims the industry’s highest bandwidth per square millimeter, while reducing memory standby power by up to 66% and reclaiming as much as 15% of the die area—key for dense, high-performance chip designs in hyperscale AI infrastructure.
The 2nm SRAM is part of Marvell’s broader custom silicon platform strategy, which also includes co-packaged optics, HBM integration, and CXL memory expansion. The new SRAM complements this portfolio by improving on-die memory efficiency and enabling chip designers to use reclaimed silicon for more compute cores, higher memory density, or power-optimized custom solutions. Designed to operate at frequencies up to 3.75 GHz, the SRAM uses custom circuitry and architectural enhancements co-developed with leading foundry partners.
This latest innovation reinforces Marvell’s bet on custom silicon as transistor scaling slows in the post-Moore’s Law era. The company is building out a portfolio of advanced IP—including PCIe Gen 7 interfaces, die-to-die interconnects, optical I/O, and advanced SerDes—to support customer-driven chip development in AI, cloud, and networking infrastructure.

“Custom is the future of AI infrastructure. The methodologies and technologies used by hyperscalers today to develop cutting-edge custom XPUs will percolate to more customers, more classes of devices, and more applications,” said Will Chu, senior vice president of Custom Cloud Solutions at Marvell.
