EZchip Semiconductor Ltd.
EZCH, a leader in Ethernet network processors, is issuing the
following clarifications relating to the Cisco announcement of September 12,
2013 on the unveiling of its new nPower X1 network processor:
o To the best of EZchip's knowledge Cisco intends to use EZchip's NP-5 in
all key platforms that use the NP-4 today, and Cisco has not yet made a
decision on any NPU beyond NP-5 in those platforms.
o EZchip believes that when its NPS-400 samples it will be the industry's
most advanced NPU with:
1. the highest integration and the greatest power
efficiency;
2. the most advanced traffic manager;
3. scalability to support the greatest number of
flows and subscribers; and
4. support of Layers 4-7 with the highest performing
L4-7 accelerators.
o Cisco has always had in-house NPUs that are used in various Cisco
platforms. To EZchip's best knowledge, Cisco's latest announcement is in
line with such past practice.
EZchip is also making the following clarifications relating to speculations
that ZTE is displacing EZchip's NPUs with NPUs from other vendors:
o ZTE has many platforms and EZchip's NPUs are used in some platforms while
other vendors' NPUs are used in others.
o The EZchip NP-3 and NP-4 platforms at ZTE are secure and to the best of
EZchip's knowledge ZTE intends to use NP-5 as a follow on in these
platforms.
o The NP-5 is also in consideration for other platforms as are other NPUs
from other vendors.
o EZchip continues to ship NP-5 samples to ZTE and there has not been any
backing away by ZTE.
