I think that Dell is one of the few vendors using it AFAIK?

My understanding same class as T2+, with lower cost, but there are some
limitations.

I thought this was a good explanation:

What is the Broadcom Maverick chipset primarily used or designed for?
This seems like a not commonly used chip to me.

Hello all,



I’ve been googling around trying to figure out which Broadcom silicon is
in the S4148-ON.



I haven’t really been able to make much of a determination.



Does anyone know which chipset this is? Trident 1? Trident 2? Trident 3?



Thanks so much if anyone has already figured this out.



-Drew
