① SA Source

Context Before

The MI400 Series racks are not actually using real UALink for scale-up networking. AMD has instead renamed its Infinity Fabric Over Ethernet to “UALink over Ethernet” and uses this for its scale-up network

Evidence

The MI400 Series scale-up network will use Broadcom Ethernet Tomahawk 6 switches because Marvell and Astera Labs’ UALink switches will not be ready by late 2026

Context After

Despite these earlier points, the MI400 Series with UALink over Ethernet will still be competitive with the VR200 NVL144’s NVLink in terms of scale up bandwidth and also has a scale up world size of 72 logical GPUs

② Atomic Claim

MI400 scale-up network 預計使用 Broadcom Tomahawk 6 Ethernet switches,因 Marvell/Astera UALink switches 到 late-2026 尚未 ready。
