Ayar Labs and Alchip to Scale AI Infrastructure With Co-Packaged Optics
SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ayar Labs, a leader in co-packaged optics (CPO) for large-scale AI workloads, and Alchip Technologies, the high-performance ASIC leader, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate AI scale-up infrastructure. The collaboration fulfills hyperscaler demands for advanced AI accelerators and platforms that deliver enhanced performance, efficiency, and scalability.
This new partnership brings together Ayar Labs’ industry-leading CPO technology, Alchip’s advanced packaging expertise, and TSMC’s advanced packaging and process technologies to build a robust ecosystem to accelerate the production and adoption of optical engines.
Mark Wade, CEO and co-founder of Ayar Labs, said:
Ayar Labs’ co-packaged optics technology unlocks the next era of AI infrastructure by removing the limitations of copper interconnects,
“By combining our optical I/O innovation with Alchip’s deep expertise in advanced packaging, we’re building an ecosystem to accelerate the transition to power-efficient, high-performance AI systems.”
Traditional copper-based interconnects can no longer keep pace with AI workloads. This partnership helps to overcome legacy performance bottlenecks to enable multi-rack scale-up system architectures by implementing Ayar Labs’ optical I/O technology into Alchip’s high-performance ASICs. This unlocks high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for extended memory and computing resources across larger systems and data centers, dramatically improving interactivity while reducing power consumption.
Johnny Shen, Chairman and CEO of Alchip Technologies, said:
Current and future AI workloads require innovative and often collaborative advanced packaging design expertise and production-ready solutions.
“Alchip has proven to the market that it has the entire skill set to serve tier 1 hyperscale customers.We’re working with Ayar Labs to bring leading edge optical I/O technology to demanding high-performance next-gen designs, helping hyperscalers achieve new levels of data throughput and energy efficiency.”
Using TSMC’s packaging and silicon technologies, including COUPE™, TSMC-SoIC®, and advanced process nodes, Ayar Labs and Alchip are addressing critical data movement bottlenecks and enabling new system architectures. The result is a scalable, repeatable path for next-generation AI infrastructure CPO adoption.
Ayar Labs and Alchip will share additional details on their partnership and joint CPO solutions for AI data center scale-up in the coming weeks.
