Context Before

Source: SemiAnalysis AI Networking Model

The catch is that 102.4T Minipack-4 switches may not be shipped in time for Vera Rubin NVL72 rack deployments, and if this were to be the case, some NSF clusters will be shipped using 51.2T Minipack-3 switches instead. This means that gearboxes within the AECs will have to be used to convert 200G per lane SerDes speed at the NIC to 100G per lane SerDes speed at the switch.

Evidence

We think xAI will use 1.6T AECs for both NIC-to-TOR and switch-to-switch connectivity at the leaf, spine and core layers

Context After

Hyperscaler Customization and Assembly Logistics

Customization

② Atomic Claim

SemiAnalysis 認為 xAI 會在 leaf、spine 與 core layers,使用 1.6T AECs 同時處理 NIC-to-TOR 與 switch-to-switch connectivity。
