Context Before

Source: IEE Explore

While bidirectional signaling is being used for short-reach (less than 5mm) die-to-die interconnect, what stands out is that NVIDIA has extended this technology to longer reach transmission over copper backplane with a reach of at least 1m.

Evidence

However, if NVIDIA were to continue using the 200G SerDes, doubling the bandwidth would mean doubling the number of copper cables at the backplane, which is a tall order for several reasons

Context After

Cramming in approximately five thousand copper cables on the backplane at the Blackwell generation has introduced non-trivial reliability failure modes at scale. To double scale-up bandwidth while staying on regular 200G SerDes would require the backplane to double to ten thousand copper cables: only further increasing the manufacturing complexity and likelihood of failure of the system.

② Atomic Claim

如果 NVIDIA 繼續使用 200G SerDes,要把 bandwidth 加倍就必須把 backplane 上的 copper cable 數量加倍,會帶來多項困難。
