Overview

System on a Chip (SoC) combines a high-performance processor, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch, GbE physical layer transceivers (PHYs), USB 3.0 and traffic accelerators all on a single chip.
Designed to enable faster, more-power efficient enterprise and small-to-medium business (SMB) networks, Broadcom's StrataGX™ series of SoCs address the impact of services and adoption of 5G WiFi on enterprise access points, enterprise switches and business gateways, delivering 10x faster speeds and 40 percent more power-efficient solutions. At the center of the each of the devices is a high-performance 1 GHz ARM® Cortex™-A9 dual core with a 32 KB four-way set associative instruction cache and a 32 KB four-way set associative data cache. Enhanced CPU memory subsystem architecture provides increased system performance. Broadcom's StrataGX Series includes:
