		NEW: Marvell Processor Development (Link automatically downloads 558KB PDF) We recently completed a white paper describing the lengthy effort behind Marvell's recent launch of their Sheeva processor line. We examine these new processors and their applicability to communications, printers, storage, consumer, and mobile applications, and provide a peek at some next-generation CPUs. This paper is sponsored by Marvell, but all opinions and analysis are those of The Linley Group.

		Single-Chip Control/Data-Plane Processors (Link automatically downloads 190KB PDF) This paper examines the trend toward combining control-plane and data-plane processing on a single chip. It discusses the technologies driving this trend, the common features of these chips, their advantages and disadvantages, and how they are being deployed today and into the future.

		10G Ethernet Adoption in Volume Servers (Link automatically downloads 180KB PDF) This paper examines the market drivers, deployment alternatives, and chip-level requirements for adoption of 10G Ethernet in volume servers.
