Cisco unveils AI networking silicon and optics with NVIDIA

Cisco Systems Inc. unveiled new networking silicon and a collaboration with NVIDIA at the Open Compute Project Global Summit on Monday. The company introduced the Silicon One P200-powered 51.2T systems, which are now deployed in production environments by hyperscalers including Microsoft and Alibaba Cloud. Cisco also announced the Silicon One G302, a 51.2T switching silicon with 200G SerDes designed for top-of-rack deployments, and the 102.4T Silicon One G300, which is available for customer sampling.

Cisco and NVIDIA plan to develop the Ultra-Dense Small Form Factor Pluggable (USFP) optical module, supporting 400Gb/s-per-lane. The companies stated that USFP is expected to deliver four times the bandwidth density and 1.3 times the power efficiency of 200Gb/s-per-lane optics.
