Nvidia, AMD, and Intel invest in Ayar Labs to enable futuristic light-based chips


Ayar Labs is making waves by shrinking fiber optic data transmission technology to the chip scale. Its flagship product, the TeraPHY optical I/O chiplet, delivers a staggering...

Power-hungry GPUs driving these workloads require advanced interconnects to eliminate system bottlenecks and reduce energy consumption, making Ayar Labs' technology critical for the next generation of computing. Designed to complement the TeraPHY chiplets in server systems, this solution offers 5 – 10x higher bandwidth, 10x lower latency, and up to 8x greater power efficiency compared to traditional electrical interconnects. Ayar Labs has collaborated with manufacturers like GlobalFoundries and Intel to integrate its technology into high-volume chip production, with discussions reportedly underway with TSMC, according to Bloomberg.
