Optical Interconnect in AI Data Centers Market
Pluggable optical modules are seeing strong adoption with 50% share in market as AI and high-performance data centers demand high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects for workloads
Intel's OCI chiplet represents a leap forward in high-bandwidth interconnect by enabling co-packaged optical input/output (I/O) in emerging AI infrastructure for data centers and high performance computing (HPC) applications. While DSPs. Broadband Circuits for Optical Fiber Communication, E. Heck, John Wiley & Sons, 2009. The rapid growth of GPU clusters is driving bandwidth requirements to terabytes per second (TB/s) while rack power densities exceed 40 kW. Intel recently developed an optical chip interconnect system and demonstrated its first fully integrated optical I/O (OCI) chiplet.
