"The high cost and power proportion taken up by DSPs has motivated the industry to find technologies that can disintermediate the DSP. The first wave of attack on the DSP was linear pluggable optics (LPO) which attempt to remove the DSPs altogether and have the SerDes from the switches directly drive the TX and RX optical elements in the transceiver. CPO takes the LPO concept to the next step by placing the optical engine on the same package as the compute or switch chip. A key benefit of CPO is that the DSP that was found in the transceiver is no longer required because the distance between"

"Backend networking architecture is instrumental to networking ownership cost analysis. How does networking architecture matter for networking ownership costs In general we observe the following trends: 🟠Hyperscalers typically get preferential terms on networking equipment compared to neoclouds; 🟠Infiniband-based networks are more expensive than Ethernet-based networks for the same networking type and cluster size; 🟠3-Layer networks would be more expensive than 2-Layer networks on a per rack server (1 rack server = [--] GPUs in the case of GB200 and GB300) basis; and 🟠All else constant G300"

"Although "baking transformers in silicon" may sound cool it is mostly just a marketing slogan. 90% of Transformers FLOPS are just GEMMs and 256x256/128x128 systolic arrays in TPU/Trainium are already optimized for GEMMs. Even modern GPGPU (with Tensor cores) are optimized well for GEMMs. Even if you "bake transformers in silicon" aka just create an gaint systolic array most of your die area will still be taken up with SRAM cells and you will still face the memory wall since your HBM memory bandwidth will be the same as GPGPU/TPUs/Trainium"

"Cambricons rally is not solely sentiment-driven but evidence is still early: chip revenue has risen with Siyuan [---] and there are signs of demand for Siyuan [---]. Some engineers report an easier software experience than Huawei Ascend and certain Chinese hyperscalers that compete with Huawei may prefer a neutral supplier. That said Cambricon appears to have less ability to secure SMIC N+2 wafers and long-run HBM supply which could constrain scale. ByteDance is also Cambricons largest customer accounting for 80% of Cambricon's revenue highlighting concentration risk. 2/3"
