AMD Strengthens AI Layout, Acquires Silicon Photonics Firm Enosemi to Advance CPO Technology

May 29, AMD officially announced that it has acquired Enosemi, a company that focuses on photonic circuit research and development, which is seen as a move to further strengthen competition with friends such as NVIDIA and Intel and even with China. Photonic circuits or silicon photonics technology, the core is the use of photons rather than traditional electronics to transmit information, has long been regarded as a key technology for future computing, many technology companies have been put into it. Compared to traditional electronic circuits, silicon photonics has faster speeds, higher bandwidths and better energy efficiency, and has already been used in areas such as network switches and inter-chip interconnects.
