AI Chips Shift to Light-Speed Transfer; Samsung, SK Join CPO Race
Reports say AI chip interconnects are shifting from electrical signals to co-packaged optics (CPO), with Samsung and SK Hynix joining the race. CPO can significantly cut power and boost bandwidth, making it key for next-gen AI accelerators. If the two firms enter the supply chain, it opens a new growth avenue beyond HBM, positive for long-term share prices, though near-term earnings impact is limited.
