SK hynix Takes Its Co-Packaged Optics Roadmap to Nature Electronics: 100Tb/s Nodes, Sub-1pJ/bit, Under 10ns

Across several hardware generations, memory and networking vendors have identified different choke points in high-performance computing clusters. Memory manufacturers focused on in-package memory bandwidth, while network fabric providers addressed inter-chassis and cross-rack throughput. Today, those two perspectives have converged on the exact same bottleneck: the bandwidth wall that restricts data movement between distributed compute nodes
