A data forwarding chip and a server are disclosed. The server includes a data forwarding chip, a network interface card, and a processor. The data forwarding chip is separately connected to the network interface card and the processor through a bus. After receiving a data forwarding request sent by the processor or the network interface card, the data forwarding chip forwards, based on a destination address of the data forwarding request through an endpoint port that is on the forwarding chip and that is directly connected to a memory space corresponding to the destination address of the data forwarding request, to-be-forwarded data specified in the data forwarding request, such that when the server sends or receives data, cross-chip transmission of data between processors occurs, thereby reducing a data transmission delay.
