Scaling In The AI Era: The Role Of PCI Express 7.0 Switches In Next-Gen Data Centers


As artificial intelligence (AI) workloads continue to scale in complexity and volume, the infrastructure that supports them must evolve just as rapidly. At the heart of this transformation lies PCI Express 7.0 (PCIe 7.0), a next-generation interconnect standard that is redefining how data moves within high-performance computing (HPC) and AI-driven data centers. PCIe 7.0 doubles the raw bit r... » read more

Co-Packaged Optics Reaches Power Efficiency Tipping Point


Commercialization has started for network switches based on co-packaged optics (CPO), which are capable of routing signals at terabits per second speeds, but manufacturing challenges remain regarding fiber-to-photonic IC alignment, thermal mitigation, and optical testing strategies. By moving the optical-to-electronic data conversion as close as possible to the GPU/ASIC switch in data center... » read more
