The new platform integrates optics directly with AI accelerators and switch silicon to bypass the distance and power limits of traditional copper wiring. These components target hyperscalers connecting large clusters of GPUs, CPUs, and memory to increase bandwidth density while reducing power consumption per bit. The 2 nm process enables faster data movement between components as AI systems scale to millions of accelerators.
