    We get some hands-on time in the Intel lab with their new switch. Based on the recently acquired Intel Barefoot Tofino 2 switch ASIC, we see the world's first (publicly shown like this) working set of switches using both silicon photonics as well as co-packaged optics. We also explain why pluggable optics will be going away in future generations of network switches as they will consume too much power in the 51.2Tbps generation of switches.

    So after 15+ years of development we are getting close to having real products.That's exciting.

    This are the kind of presentation that photonics field needs to approach society and make people understand how our lives may improve thanks to scientific innovations and the engagement of more and more people. From MEETOPTICS we are proud to be part of the photonics community and to help engineers and researchers in their search for optical lenses through our site. We celebrate every step forward and we hope new people join our community every day!

    25Gbase-T wouldn't just require too much signal processing to be feasable, it would melt the wires if 10gbase-t is of any indication(10gbase SFP+ are 30m only after all at 30W)

    • @TheBackyardChemist

      10gbase-t goes up to 100m if you have Cat. 6A cabling

    • @MatteoSaitta
      @MatteoSaitta Před 4 lety

      TheBackyardChemist only on hardwired ports, not on sfp+ ports as, like I said before, there is a 30w budget that is not enough for 31-100m distances

      @@MatteoSaitta Ok, you are right about that 30m limit, but the power figure is still off by ~10x. This 10gbase-t SFP+ module only uses 2.4W maximum, when driving a 30m long 10Gbps link: i.mt.lv/cdn/rb_files/sfp_splusrj10-190211155011.pdf

    Very cool and clear info! Is there a way that you could checkout the current status of the HPE Machine? I've seen it 2 years ago and wonder where they are at now. That thing is packed with so much new tech!

      @@InIMoeK there are some videos on memory driven computing. There's plenty of public domain stuff out there now. The Machine is more of a development platform. The technology developed filters down into the Superdome Flex platform.

    send me to a parallel universe, these stupid engineers of intel just now guessed to stick the optics into silicon :)) I wonder when it comes to them that everywhere such interfaces can be done? ip cpu, ip video card, ip memory, ip disk, ip wifi, ip girls ;))))))

      it took the industry 15+ years of working on this trying to produce it in bulk, clearly not a new idea. Just not easy to do
