Intel has unveiled the industry's first fully integrated bidirectional optical I/O chiplet at the recent Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) 2024. This optical compute interconnect (OCI), showcased by Intel’s Integrated Photonics Solutions group, supports 64 channels of 32Gbps data transmission in both directions over up to 100 meters of fiber optics. The technology, which can be attached to CPUs and GPUs - a previously complicated task to achieve - addresses AI infrastructure's increasing demand for higher bandwidth, lower power consumption, and longer reach.
Meeting AI demand
It's well documented that AI-based applications, including LLMs and generative AI, are causing unprecedented demand in I/O bandwidth...
