Evidence

Each NVLink Switch Chip connects via flyover cables to the connector (144 DPs used x 200 Gbit/s bi-di channel = 28.8Tbit/s) connectors at the edge of the switch blade, and these connectors plug into the midplane board. Nvidia is looking into using co-packaged Copper to reduce loss further, in case NPC doesn’t work. As far as we know the Nvidia is telling supply chain to go for fully co-packaged copper.

Context After

Rubin Ultra NVL288

Though not officially discussed by Nvidia at GTC 2026, an NVL288 concept has been explored within the supply chain. This would entail two NVL144 Kyber racks placed adjacent to each other, with a rack-to-rack copper backplane used to connect the two racks. One possibility is that all 288 GPUs are connected all to all, but this would require higher radix switches than the current NVLink 7 switches which only offer a maximum radix of 144 ports of 200G.

② Atomic Claim

⑥ Human Review

請在 Properties 逐項確認:

  • 原文 → Atomic Claim 是否忠實
  • Atomic Claim → Semantic Frame 是否忠實
  • Canonical Entity mapping 是否正確
  • Epistemic mode 是否保留原文語氣
  • 最後選擇 review_action
