Evidence

Optics will be required for the inter-rack connections, though strictly speaking it isn’t confirmed whether this will be with pluggable optics or with CPO, though CPO seems much more likely

Context After

We have shown a concept of NVL576 for GB200 previously with pluggable optics to interconnect the second layer of NVLink switches. The use of pluggables contributed to an enormous increase in BOM cost that made the system untenable from a TCO perspective for a switched all-to-all. However, it is plausible that Rubin Ultra NVL576 will be rolled out in test volumes before Feynman NVL 1,152, where we will see actual volume ramp of scale-up CPO.

The downstream implications of this are exposed in our institutional research, trusted by all major hyperscalers, semiconductor companies, and AI Labs, at sales@semianalysis.com

② Atomic Claim

機櫃間連線必須使用 optics;目前尚未確認會採 pluggable optics 還是 CPO,但 SemiAnalysis 認為 CPO 的可能性高得多。
