① SA Source

Context Before

Evidence

The doubling of bandwidth per logical GPU from NVLink 5 in GB300 NVL72 to NVLink 6 in Vera Rubin NVL72 are made possible by using a simultaneous bi-directional SerDes for the copper backplane instead of increasing the modulation or baud rate.

Context After

Whereas NVLink 5 delivers 224G per electrical lane, NVLink 6.0 delivers 448G per electrical lane. Each electrical lane is one differential pair (DP) consisting of two conductors that carry equal magnitude, and opposite polarity signals.

② Atomic Claim

從 GB300 NVL72 的 NVLink 5 到 Vera Rubin NVL72 的 NVLink 6,每個 logical GPU 的 bandwidth 翻倍;原文認為這是藉由 copper backplane 上 simultaneous bi-directional SerDes 達成,而不是提高 modulation 或 baud rate。
