In the of the Interconnects category for its 3nm 1.6T PAM4 Interconnect Platform, known as Ara. Ara is the industry¡¯s first 3nm PAM4 DSP specializing in bandwidth, power efficiency and integration for AI and data center scale-out accelerated infrastructure.
These awards are a 50-year tradition that recognizes outstanding products that demonstrate significant technological advancement, especially innovative design, or a substantial improvement in price or performance. Over 100 products were evaluated spanning 13 categories to determine the winners.
The Ara 3nm 1.6T PAM4 DSP integrates eight 200G electrical lanes and eight 200G optical lanes in a compact, standardized module form factor. Ara sets a new standard in optical interconnect technology, integrating advanced laser drivers and signal processing into a singular device, thereby reducing power per bit. With the product, system design is simplified across entire AI data center network stacks. Power consumption is also reduced, enabling denser optical connectivity and faster deployment of AI clusters.
Ara has also received other recognitions, demonstrating ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ leadership in optical DSPs and the interconnect realm.?

Semiconductors have transformed virtually every aspect of our lives. Now, the semiconductor industry is on the verge of a profound transformation itself.
Customized silicon¡ªchips uniquely tailored to meet the performance and power requirements of an individual customer for a particular use case¡ªwill increasingly become pervasive as data center operators and AI developers seek to harness the power of AI. Expanded educational opportunities, better decision making, ways to all become possible if we get the computational infrastructure right.
The turn to custom, in fact, is already underway. The number of GPUs¡ªthe merchant chips employed for AI training and inference¡ªproduced today is nearly double the number of custom XPUs built for the same tasks. By 2028, custom accelerators will likely pass GPUs in units shipped, with the gap expected to grow.1?
