GlobalFoundries and Marvell are scaling up silicon photonics efforts as data centers outgrow copper wiring
TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. Lightning Fast: Modern and upcoming data center projects require massive amounts of AI accelerators, and produce similarly massive amounts of data. Traditional silicon-based networking is starting to choke on gigabytes, which is why major manufacturers are now focusing on more advanced technology solutions to move all those bits around.
