Abstract
The NPU market has had its ups and downs over the last few years. However, now it seems the most of the NPU vendors that remain are enjoying some pleasantly healthly growth -- especially for the high-end vendors. A decent portion of these additional revenues are coming from events that could have happened years ago. There is a renewed sense that the recovery is in full swing and OEMs are starting to consider their options again.
While many things have changed over the last few years, the underlying logic behind NPUs helping some OEMs to reach profitability hasnt wavered. Thanks to software suites, the AdvancedTCA, and other recent improvements, the promises made years ago are now easier to fulfill. And this is making a huge difference in the market.
This 64-page report includes a technical overview, complete with detailed P/L models for NPU versus ASIC use, a market overview, and vendor profiles. We took 26 large networking markets and performed a detailed analysis to determine the following forecasts, by market segments:
- TAM Shipments
