Advantages of Silicon Photonics for Multi-socket Systems

Future single-board multi-socket systems may be unable to deliver the needed memory bandwidth electrically due to power limitations, which will hurt their ability to drive performance improvements. Energy efficient o ff-chip silicon photonics could be used to deliver the needed bandwidth, and it...
