NVIDIA has made an announcement: its NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet silicon photonics technology has officially entered full-scale production. The latest generation of Spectrum-X switches employs co-packaged optics (CPO) technology. This technology is instrumental in facilitating the horizontal and cross-regional expansion of the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform within data centers, thereby enabling the deployment of AI factories. Representing NVIDIA's full-stack co-design methodology, the Spectrum-X Ethernet silicon photonics technology brings about a remarkable fivefold increase in energy efficiency and AI uptime. Moreover, it allows for a deployment speed that is 1.3 times faster than that of traditional networks.
