A technology that uses silicon chips to move data with light.
Silicon photonics gives chip data a tiny light-speed express lane. The copper wires sit in traffic and honk.
It helps chip links and AI data centers. It moves data faster and with less power.
AI chip
Silicon photonics moves some chip-to-chip data from wires to light paths.
AI data center
AI data centers use it to raise link speed and cut power use.
Memory bandwidth
It helps ease the old bottleneck of data moving slower than compute.
