Overview

Tomahawk is Broadcom’s Ethernet switch-ASIC family for data-center and AI fabrics. Tomahawk 6 is the current generation: 102.4 Tbps in a single chip, 100G/200G SerDes, and an optional co-packaged optics variant.

Official Broadcom materials dated 3 June 2025 present Tomahawk 6 as 102.4 Tbps switching in a single chip with 100G/200G SerDes and an optional co-packaged optics variant; production-volume shipping was later announced on 12 March 2026. This listing records the switch-silicon platform rather than Tomahawk 4, 5 and 6 as three rows. Co-packaged optics is listed separately as a photonics technology. This is switch silicon, not a finished 1U switch or a telecom operator network. Bandwidth, SerDes and optics options should be confirmed on Broadcom’s current Tomahawk pages.
