The modern data center experiences unprecedented stress when processing, analyzing, and storing vast amounts of data from artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
1.6 T Ethernet holds significant promise for supporting the bandwidth and speeds of these growing data demands. Recently, Synopsys announced the "industry's first" 1.6T Ethernet IP Solution to meet the high bandwidth requirements of AI and hyper-scale data center chips
Synopsys Reveals First 1.6T Ethernet IP Solution
Synopsys designed its Complete 1.6T Ethernet IP solution to meet the escalating demands for higher bandwidth and lower latency in data-intensive environments. The company hopes the solution will enable the industry's fastest chips for AI and data center networking applications.
At the core of Synopsys' offering are the multi-rate, multi-channel 1.6 T Ethernet media access control (MAC) and physical coding sublayer (PCS) controllers. These multi-channel/multi-rate Ethernet controllers support 1.6 T with up to 40% lower latency and up to 50% smaller area than current multi-rate 800-G IP solutions.
