Nvidia teams up with TSMC for its first silicon photonics networking gear platforms that will open doors to datacenters with millions of GPUs.

“AI factories are a new class of data centers with extreme scale, and networking infrastructure must be reinvented to keep pace,” Huang said. “By integrating silicon photonics directly into switches, Nvidia is shattering the old limitations of hyperscale and enterprise networks and opening the gate to million-GPU AI factories.”
