① SA Source

Context Before

As the per GPU bandwidth continues to scale to 3.2T, it is not hard to imagine a 4-plane network using SN6800 switches, where each 3.2T GPU is split four ways to connect to four different switch boxes at 800G per link.

In fact, if you have not already noticed – there are strong parallels between the X800-Q3400 switch (non-CPO) explained earlier in the article and a CPO switch in that both facilitate high-radix, multi-plane networking architectures while encasing within the box complex cabling that saves customers on the hassle of cable management.

Evidence

Outside of the NVIDIA ecosystem, the main switch ASIC players are Broadcom, which will be manufacturing the Tomahawk 6 and Tomahawk 6 CPO ASICs, as well as Cisco, which recently announced the G300 102.4T ASIC

Context After

8-plane “flat” network utilizing the full 512 switch radix;

② Atomic Claim

NVIDIA ecosystem 外,主要 switch ASIC 業者包括 Broadcom,其將生產 Tomahawk 6Tomahawk 6 CPO ASICs;另有 Cisco,近期發布 G300 102.4T ASIC
