Marvell Introduces Optimized Integrated Power Solutions to Boost Performance, Efficiency, and ROI of Accelerated Infrastructure

• Marvell accelerates chip-level power delivery systems with pre-validated integrated power solutions
• Optimized integrated power solutions increase power delivery to XPUs and other devices for better performance and TCO
• Up to 2X higher current density and 85% reduction in transmission losses, for final voltage conversion, enabling higher performance and efficiency for processors and infrastructure

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today announced its Package Integrated Voltage Regulator (PIVR) power solutions, transforming power delivery systems and enabling hyperscalers to enhance the performance, efficiency and return on investment (ROI) of AI and cloud infrastructure.

The pre-validated power solutions effectively allow system designers to accelerate the shift from today's board-level power delivery systems—discrete subsystems made from several components typically situated several inches away from the processor on a printed circuit board—to smaller, faster, integrated silicon chips and passives tightly coupled with the processor. The smaller size, closer proximity, and higher performance provide a foundation for developing 4+ kilowatt compute platforms, a leap in power delivery that hyperscalers can utilize to dramatically elevate computing operations in racks or data centers.  

The Marvell® PIVR power solution enables multiple infrastructure optimizations. This solution controls the flow of electricity to a semiconductor, reducing the comparatively high voltages from power supplies to the sub-1V levels consumed by today's advanced processors, filtering the electrical wave form, and strictly controlling voltage levels. Shortening the final low-voltage/high-current portion of the power delivery path can reduce transmission losses by up to 85% with improved voltage regulation. The compact size saves board space and lowers overall system costs. Featuring higher power densities (3-4 amperes per sq. mm.) compared to typical solutions (1.5-2 amperes per sq. mm), this solution also supports greater compute density. Additionally, it enhances dynamic voltage scaling, enabling real-time power tuning to minimize losses.

"Placing IVR under, near, or inside the package delivers greater performance and greater efficiency at the same time—an extremely challenging feat — while giving cloud operators greater flexibility when it comes to developing or optimizing their infrastructure," said Will Chu, senior vice president and general manager of Custom Cloud Solutions at Marvell. "PIVR also underscores the performance and power gains that can be achieved through custom silicon. We are thrilled with our close collaboration with our partners and look forward to working with them to continue to bring pre-validated PIVR solutions to our custom XPU customers and further build on the momentum for custom technology."

"Integrated voltage regulation opens the door to several system-design benefits in the kilowatt-chip era that began with the escalating power demands of AI processors," said Joseph Byrne, principal at Xampata Insights. "Marvell's pre-validated IVR power solution helps ease adoption of these high-performance chips and ameliorate power issues facing hyperscalers."
