Intel debuts silicon photonics module for lightning-fast connectivity in data centers

Intel is launching a new silicon photonics product that will make it a lot easier to hurl data around data centers at tremendous speeds.
The Intel PSM4 silicon photonics module can deliver 100 gigabits per second across two kilometers, making it easier to share data at high speeds across the “spine” of a data center. The technology is the result of years-long efforts to bring both electronics and optical components onto a single piece of silicon, which is lower cost and easier to mak
