Photonics

Premium AMD is investing over $280 million to establish two new R&D centers in Taiwan dedicated to silicon photonics and heterogeneous integration to further boost its data center roadmap.

Chinese state-run tabloids report a new silicon photonic microchip coming out of research labs

AMD has acquired photonics firm Enosemi, highlighting a desire to push into photonics and to become a full software stack supplier in the datacenter, chasing Nvidia in both respects.

Lightmatter proposes to use photonic interconnect platform for ultra-high-performance multi-chiplet processors.

GlobalFoundries is investing around $575 million to construct an advanced packaging and silicon photonics facility at its Malta, New York site.

JFS Laboratory develops silicon photonics for China's next-generation of AI and HPC datacenters.

High Bandwidth Memory's future looks... bright.

Researchers with the NTT and Hokkaido National University have succeeded in breaking the record for longest-distance power delivery through a single fiber optics cable.

As chiplets are increasingly seen as the future of computation, Lightmatter aims to reduce power consumption and latency by interconnecting chips through light rather than wires.

Reusing existing fiber optic infrastructure is (almost) as big a deal as it gets.
