Broadcom BCM4918 Quad-Core Armv8® APU Network Processors

Broadcom BCM4918 Quad-Core Armv8® Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) Network Processors are next-gen system-on-chips (SoCs) that unify high-performance computing, networking, and artificial intelligence (AI) acceleration in a single, tightly integrated chip. The BCM4918 SoC dramatically expands upon the capabilities of previous generations by integrating a powerful Broadcom Neural Engine (BNE) for on-device AI/ML inference and acceleration. This integration transforms the access point into an intelligent edge computing platform. The integrated quad-core Armv8 CPU complex provides robust performance for dedicated customer applications, while the advanced networking engines offload wired and wireless data paths.
