Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) is one of the stocks that Donald Trump owns. In early June, Broadcom (AVGO) began shipping its Tomahawk 6 Ethernet switch, the most powerful chip of its kind yet. Built on a 3nm node and delivering a staggering 102.4 Tbps of bandwidth, the Tomahawk 6 is designed to serve AI hyperscale data centers and enable massive scale-up networks that interconnect hundreds of thousands of GPUs.

This is more than a generational upgrade. Tomahawk 6 doubles the bandwidth of its predecessor and addresses the growing bottleneck in AI training workloads where networking speed and latency increasingly limit performance.
