Evidence

Optics will be required for the inter-rack connections, though strictly speaking it isn’t confirmed whether this will be with pluggable optics or with CPO, though CPO seems much more likely

Context After

We have shown a concept of NVL576 for GB200 previously ↗ with pluggable optics to interconnect the second layer of NVLink switches. The use of pluggables contributed to an enormous increase in BOM cost that made the system untenable from a TCO perspective for a switched all-to-all. However, it is plausible that Rubin Ultra NVL576 will be rolled out in test volumes before Feynman NVL 1,152, where we will see actual volume ramp of scale-up CPO.

The downstream implications of this are exposed in our institutional research, trusted by all major hyperscalers, semiconductor companies, and AI Labs, at sales@semianalysis.com

② Atomic Claim

機櫃間連線必須使用 optics;目前尚未確認會採 pluggable optics 還是 CPO,但 SemiAnalysis 認為 CPO 的可能性高得多。
