Broadcom Tomahawk 6: price positioning and chip and process choices is becoming the center of the story

Tomahawk 6 leaks are no longer just about direction. The current trail points to Tomahawk 6 is a high-bandwidth networking-silicon story, so the technical value is about fabric throughput and deployment efficiency, not consumer-facing branding and Watch port density, bandwidth per watt, memory strategy and whether the silicon is being tuned for AI-cluster scale rather than conventional enterprise networking, with the rest of the launch brief still unsettled.
