In collaboration with NTT and SK Hynix, Intel is developing next-generation chips that use optical tech to communicate via photons instead of electrons.
The partnership focuses on integrating silicon photonics and similar tech into semiconductors, with each partner bringing their strengths to the table.
The new tech proposes integrating optical technology directly into processors and memory to improve performance and save power, which will be particularly beneficial for AI and HPC apps that process vast amounts of data.
