Article excerpt

Highlighted: the sentence this signal was extracted from

As artificial intelligence (AI) clusters continue to swell in scale, the bandwidth bottleneck of traditional copper interconnects is becoming increasingly pronounced. A data transmission revolution centered on replacing copper with optics is accelerating inside data centers. On July 3, Chinese display panel giant BOE Technology Group (000725.SZ) sent a clear signal in its latest investor relations activity record: the company will accelerate the development of optical interconnect-related application technologies based on forward-looking initiatives including Micro LED light sources and glass core substrates. On the same day, technical details of global materials giant Corning's revolutionary GlassBridge product also sparked industry discussion. It has been vividly described as a "glass overpass" for the AI optical interconnect era, designed to solve the precision connection challenge of the "last few millimeters" between optical fibers and chips. The moves by both giants point to a common battleground: in the second half of the AI computing race, the decisive factor is shifting from purely pursuing peak single-chip computing power to enhancing system-level data throughput efficiency. In the investor relations activity record released on July 3, BOE detailed its latest breakthroughs in glass core substrate technology. The company stated it has successfully established...
