AI's HUGE Power Bill: Photonics is the CHEAP Solution! #shorts

[00:00:00]Single AI data center today can consume as much power as a small city. Think of 100 megawatts or more. When you double the data rate, copper's power consumption doesn't just double, it actually scales exponentially. And this is where photonics completely changes the entire economics. At the individual link level, optical connections are three to three and a half times more power efficient than copper. Now, multiply that across an entire data center with 40 or 50,000 links. Now, that's not just a 5% improvement. Every hyperscaler that's building out AI infrastructure, think Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, they're all running into the same wall right now.
