Evidence

For the GB200/GB300, the PCIe signal distance between the GPU/CPU and the CX-7/8 is shorter than the Ethernet/InfiniBand signal distance between the CX-7/8 and the OSFP cages

Context After

But now that the NIC is closer to the OSFP cage, the lower speed PCIe Gen6 signal (64Gbit/s per lane uni-directional) travels the longer distance. By making the PCIe Gen6 signal longer, the signal can travel over PCB given that PCIe Gen6 has better signal integrity than the higher speed 200G Ethernet/InfiniBand signal.

PCB vs Flyover Cables

② Atomic Claim

GB200GB300 中,GPUCPU 與 CX-7/8 之間的 PCIe signal distance,比 CX-7/8 與 OSFP cages 之間的 EthernetInfiniBand signal distance 更短。
