Marvell Discovery III (MV64460) Chipset
Revolutionary Architecture, Advanced Features
The Marvell Discovery™ III devices feature an advanced high performance
crossbar switch architecture with any-to-any connectivity. With up to 100 Gigabits
per second (Gbit/s) of aggregate throughput, the crossbar fabric supports non-
blocking concurrent connections among peripherals at full bus speeds, delivering
break-through performance for advanced Internet infrastructure equipment.
The Discovery III system controllers are highly integrated and offer leading-edge
peripherals on-chip, including up to three Gigabit Media Access Controllers
(MACs), up to two PCI-X interfaces and DDR memory support. In addition, the
Discovery III device offers an integrated 2 MBit of cache coherent SRAM that
resides on the processor interface unit to provide low latency storage for
descriptors and packets.
