Intel Unveils Revolutionary Optical Compute Interconnect Chiplet

New chiplet technology promises to transform AI and data center efficiency with high bandwidth and low power consumption.

The OCI chiplet supports 4 Tbps bidirectional data transfer over distances up to 100 meters.
It integrates photonics with electrical ICs, significantly improving performance and energy efficiency.
Intel's solution consumes only 5 pico-Joules per bit, much lower than traditional optical transceiver modules.
The technology is compatible with PCIe 5.0, making it easy to integrate into current infrastructure.
Intel aims to scale this technology for broader market adoption, enhancing AI and HPC applications.
