Co-packaged optics (CPO) integrate optical transceivers directly with processors, promising significant improvements in data center performance and energy efficiency. This technology can reduce power consumption by up to 350% and increase network bandwidth by 1,000% by minimizing data travel distances. However, challenges such as limited hardware availability, thermal management, maintenance difficulties, and proprietary technology hinder widespread adoption. AI
IMPACT Co-packaged optics could accelerate AI model training by enabling faster data ingestion for GPUs.
