Silicon Photonics Breakthrough: Chip Pbit Density Reaches 269,000
beffjezos · x · 2026-08-13
A significant breakthrough in semiconductor and computing hardware. Within the same chip footprint, the density of photonic bits (pbits) in silicon chips has skyrocketed from just 3 per chip during the last annular solar eclipse to 269,000 today. This leap marks major progress for photonic computing in scaling compute density.
