Key Takeaways

Marvell Technology ( MRVL ) shares climbed Monday after the company said its artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator chips (XPUs) are now better able to increase the performance of AI servers.

The company said its co-packaged optics technology boosts server performance by increasing XPU density from tens of chips within one server rack to hundreds across multiple racks. The integrated technology is now available for Marvell's clients, namely cloud hyperscalers , to develop custom XPU designs.
