Evidence

For the GB200, the CPU and GPU are both on the same PCB, reducing insertion loss to a point that there is no longer any need for switches or retimers between the CPU and GPU on the reference design.

Context After

Another interesting thing about the reference design is that instead of using the typical MCIO PCIe x16 connectors to connect the main PCB board to a PCIe form factor ConnectX-7/8, the ConnectX-7/8 ICs now sit directly on top of the Bianca board using a mezzanine board via Mirror Mezz connectors.

② Atomic Claim

GB200 reference design 中,CPUGPU 位於同一張 PCB,降低 insertion loss,因此 CPU 與 GPU 間不再需要 switches 或 retimers。
