Products

Selected offerings — the AI products recorded here, not the vendor's full catalogue.

• Broadcom custom silicon Hardware

  Designs and manufactures custom AI accelerators (XPUs) to a cloud operator's own specification, including the 3.5D packaging that carries them.

• Broadcom AI networking silicon Hardware

  Tomahawk and Jericho Ethernet switch silicon used to connect accelerators inside AI clusters.

• Broadcom Thor Ultra AI NIC Hardware

  An 800G PCIe Gen6 Ethernet network interface card built for server-to-server networking in large AI and ML GPU clusters.

• Broadcom Tomahawk 6 – Davisson (Co-Packaged Optics Switch) Hardware

  A 102.4-Tbps Ethernet switch with co-packaged silicon-photonics optics, built to remove optical-I/O bottlenecks in large-scale AI clusters.

• AgentMinder Platform Sold on its own

  Governance layer for AI agents: each agent is given a verifiable identity with an explicit mission, and a protocol-aware gateway authorizes every tool call against policy before it reaches an enterprise system, leaving an audit trail of what each agent did.

Founded

Wikipedia · 27 Aug 2026

Wikipedia's infobox states 1961, tracing the company's continuous lineage through HP's semiconductor products division, Agilent, and Avago Technologies, which acquired the original Broadcom Corporation (founded 1991) and took its name in 2016. Corrects the stored 1991, which was the 1991 predecessor's founding rather than the lineage Wikipedia treats as one continuous company.
