There is a new technology of transceivers that will revolutionise things... but I haven't heard more about it since last year. It should probably be a >2027 thing.... as it was aiming for 100 Tbps things... at 10Watts!
But these are like edge lab things...
That's just nuts, especially at that low of power draw!
Yep! I was fricking jaws down when they presented it last year...
It's a "Modular Silicon Photonics" breakthrough! They just need to make it viable. Made mostly for very short distances, like replacing the motherboards bus for PCIe for ie.. but still nuts, under pJ/bit things!
