MaxLinear unveils next-gen Panther V storage accelerator with 450Gbps throughput

CARLSBAD, Calif. - MaxLinear, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXL), a semiconductor company with a market capitalization of $1.46 billion that has seen its stock surge over 21% in the past year, announced on Tuesday its next-generation Panther V storage accelerator featuring 450Gbps throughput, 12:1 data reduction capabilities, and PCIe Gen5 x16 interface connectivity. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s shares have demonstrated strong momentum, gaining more than 8% in the past week alone.

The new storage accelerator delivers more than double the throughput of its predecessor, the Panther III, while maintaining the ability to offload compute-intensive data transformation tasks such as compression, deduplication, encryption, and real-time verification from CPUs. This product launch comes at a crucial time for MaxLinear, as analysts tracked by InvestingPro forecast a return to profitability this year, with projected earnings per share of $0.27.

"With its high throughput and energy efficiency performance, Panther V will empower customers to scale intelligently while reducing infrastructure costs," said Vikas Choudhary, Vice President of Connectivity and Storage business at MaxLinear.

The Panther V features PCIe Gen5 x16 interface connectivity, enabling it to utilize the full bandwidth potential of next-generation server platforms. The hardware is designed to increase effective storage capacity while reducing both capital and operational expenditures through lower CPU core requirements and reduced memory bandwidth consumption.

According to the company, the accelerator’s hardware offload architecture reduces CPU utilization and power consumption, potentially leading to more energy-efficient data center operations. The product also includes MaxHash deduplication technology, which the company claims can achieve up to 15:1 data reduction for structured data when combined with Panther V compression algorithms.

MaxLinear will showcase the Panther V at the Future of Memory and Storage 2025 conference in Santa Clara, California, from August 5-7. The company plans to demonstrate the product’s performance through two live demonstrations at the event, including a PantherDirect demo showcasing Peer-to-Peer Direct Memory Access and a performance comparison against software-only data storage solutions.

The product announcement comes as data centers face increasing demands for performance, efficiency, and cost control in storage infrastructure.
