US to Allocate $300M to GlobalFoundries for Silicon Photonics

💰 US to Allocate $300M to GlobalFoundries for Silicon Photonics

As part of the CHIPS Act, GlobalFoundries will receive $300 million to develop silicon photonics for creating ultra-fast optical interconnects in AI data centers (up to 400 Gbps).

🌍 The development of silicon photonics and CPO will help eliminate data transmission latencies between chips in AI clusters.

👤 The AI race is shifting from the quantity of chips to optimizing their connectivity via light using CPO technology.
