Turning to Optical I/O to Open up Computing Pinch Points

Getting data in and out of chips used for modern computing has become a key challenge for designers. A chip may talk to a neighboring device in the same platform or to a chip across the data centre.

The sheer quantity of data and the reaches involved – tens or hundreds of meters – is why the industry is turning to optical for a chip’s input-output (I/O).

It is this technology transition that…Read more at Gazettabyte →
