While the world looks towards silicon photonics for AI computing products, it seems like the NVIDIA CEO isn't too optimistic about it, as he is betting on copper for now.
NVIDIA's CEO Wants to Rely On Copper For Several Years To Come, Avoiding the Highly Anticipated Silicon Photonics
For those unaware, silicon photonics refers to a next-gen adaptation of traditional copper transmission cables. It combines laser and silicon technology to provide a solution that guarantees high data transfer speeds. NVIDIA is using the technology to improve interconnect latency and create high-bandwidth connections between CPU and GPU. However, it seems like Jensen isn't too confident with silicon photonics packaging yet, as he reportedly wants to stick to the traditional copper technology for years to com
