① SA Source

Context Before

To double the scale-up bandwidth using copper interconnect, NVIDIA would have to achieve a per lane bandwidth of 448Gbit/s uni-di (and implemented with simultaneous bi-directional SerDes so that each physical channel carries 448G of RX and 448G of TX). However, this is a challenging feat as they would first have to prove the feasibility of 448Gb/s PAM4 SerDes at large volumes, then implement echo cancellation to achieve bidirectional bandwidth, which is in itself extremely difficult.

Evidence

We believe Nvidia is going for 448G uni-di only.

Context After

Feynman could use in-rack optics, where switch blades are blind-mated to the midplane using optical connectors and thin fiber strands can be used to connect the optical connectors to the NVLink 8 Switches in place of flyover cables, but we believe this is very unlikely.
