Cisco Silicon One powering network innovation
With a unified silicon architecture, you can accelerate innovation and services. Network engineers can plan, qualify, and deploy network architecture more rapidly and simply without having to worry about the compatibility of different systems based on distinct silicon architectures for each network function.
One architecture. Unmatched capabilities.
Unparalleled programmability, performance, flexibility, and efficiency.
Higher bandwidth
More network bandwidth than other routing silicon
Larger scale
Ready for massive internet scale
Better performance
More packets per second than other networking silicon
Endlessly programmable
Fully programmable for faster feature delivery and future-ready deployments
Lower power
Routing features, scale, and performance at better-than-switching power efficiency
Deeper buffers
Switching devices with fully shared on-die buffers and routing devices with seamless extension to large buffers
One architecture. Multiple devices. No compromises.
Multiple devices under one architecture, each of them delivering best in class programmability, performance, buffering, scale, and power efficiency.
