Interesting article I came across today, which seems to be looking down our road.
"...that first products using ASICs co-packaged with optics will be announced in 2021"
"...first implementations of CPOs will be based on proprietary solutions. Several large companies are working on this technology now, including AMD, Broadcom, Cisco, Huawei, Intel, Nvidia, Samsung and TSMC. All this work is highly confidential..."
"... Many new products and technologies will fail, but a few will succeed and change our lives as we now know them."
This last quote sounds like what Suresh talked about on his Beyond the Press Release statement..
Cheers.
