Marvell cranks up cores and clocks with “Triton” ThunderX3

Arm server chip upstart Ampere Computing made a big splash with its 80-core "Quicksilver" Altra processor two weeks ago, and Marvell, which is the volume leader in Arm server chips with its "Vulcan" ThunderX2 processors (largely inherited from its acquisition of Broadcom's Arm server chip assets), is hitting back with some revelations about its future "Triton" ThunderX3 chip and its roadmap out beyond that.

Competition in the ARM server space is really heating up.
