- Innovative Chip Collaboration: Intel, SK hynix, and NTT unite to integrate silicon photonics in chips, aiming for a 30-40% reduction in power consumption with light-based communication.
- Focus on AI & HPC: The partnership’s new optical technology, replacing electrical signals, will enhance performance in AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC), handling terabit-class data speeds.
- National Support and Strategic Moves: Backed by a significant ¥45 billion from the Japanese government, the collaboration bolsters Japan’s semiconductor industry. Notably, Intel has sold its silicon photonics business to Jabil.
