輝達投資新晶圓廠! 黃仁勳:矽光子&光通訊升級AI資料中心｜TVBS新聞 @TVBSNEWS01

[00:00:00]The chips are the silicon wafers.

[00:00:03]However, in order for us to connect hundreds of thousands or millions of these processors together, the separation is not in number of feet, the separation is hundreds of feet, maybe it's a thousands of feet.

[00:00:15]>> Right.

[00:00:15]>> And maybe it's even across an entire data center. And so we work trying to connect all these processors together to work as one. Well, the way that that you solve that problem uh in close by close proxi- proximity, you can use electricity, um electrical circuits. However, if you want to connect it far away, the only way to solve that problem is silicon photonics or optical. And so we we take electricity uh we uh we uh uh activate one of your uh indium phosphide lasers and uh >> Built here in Sherman.

[00:00:50]>> Built right here.

[00:00:51]>> [laughter] >> The world's world's most advanced indium phosphide fab, ladies [laughter] and gentlemen, and and 6-in wafers. And light comes out the other end. That goes down a whole bunch of optics, travels as far as you need it to travel. On the other on the other side of it, you pick up the photons.

[00:01:08]>> Yeah, detectors, and you convert that back to electricity, and that electricity then drives our chips. Now the two chips or millions of chips are now commu- communicating with each other. And so the the interconnect that that is optical, it's pretty fun- fundamental to our ability to scale out to the sizes of computers that we like.
