Evidence

Moreover, it will require twice as many NVSwitch5 ASICs to enable the connection between Rack A and Rack B. This will bring the total NVLink copper cabling costs up by more than double versus NVL72.

Context After

Even though the NVLink backplane content is more than twice as expensive for NVL36x2 vs NVL72, most customers will opt for the NVL36x2 design due to power and cooling constraints which we will discuss below. To be clear while it is very pricey, both NVL36x2 and NVL72 have lower copper costs than the investor community thinks.

② Atomic Claim

NVL36x2 因跨 rack 連接需要約兩倍 NVSwitch5 ASIC,NVLink copper cabling 成本也超過 NVL72 的兩倍。
