① SA Source

Context Before

Nvidia’s approach has been to use copper where they can, and optics where they must. The architecture of NVL1152 in the Feynman generation will follow the same principle. It is clear that the NVL1152 will adopt CPO to connect between racks, but from GPUs to NVLink Switches is currently copper POR. Nvidia is unable to achieve another doubling of electrical lane speed from 224Gbit/s bi-di to 448Gbit/s uni-di means bandwidth isn’t that amazing.

While 448G high speed SerDes have big challenges for shoreline, reach, and power versus using a die-to-die connection to an optical engine, the manufacturing challenges, cost, and reliability for Feynman necessitate using copper to the Switch.

Evidence

For now, our base case stands at copper being used within each rack and CPO between the racks

Context After

For now – our best estimate of Nvidia’s CPO roadmap is as follows:
