Context Before
The second benefit is a reduction in cost stemming from eliminating almost all transceivers. There is even more room for price reduction if we are looking at NVIDIA LinkX transceivers, which tend to be priced at significant premium to their generic equivalent. If we compare total networking costs for a 3-Layer network with and without CPO-based switches in the scale-out domain, we see an average of ~75% reduction in transceiver costs.
Evidence
However, as with the power savings above, such cost savings tend not to move the needle dramatically considering the full cluster costs.
Context After
Increased overall network reliability is another compelling point. Transceivers can be unreliable, with a large cluster certain to have ongoing link flaps. Meta’s study presented at ECOC showed strong reliability results over 15M 400G port-device hours, which is about equivalent 15 CPO switches tested for 11 months in a lab. It is an encouraging start—but we think this point could get stronger with more in-field test deployments.
② Atomic Claim
不過，和前述 power savings 類似，從整個 cluster cost 來看，這些 transceiver cost savings 對整體成本的影響仍不算顯著。
