According to Wedbush Securities, the partnership covers AI-RAM, NVLink, and key technologies like optical networking and SiPh. Analyst Matt Bryson said it is not clear which technology is the main driver for NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), while Marvell is motivated to complete the deal because of the $2 billion investment.
