Marvell shows photonic module placing HBM and DDR up to 50 meters from GPUs
Overview
Marvell's Dave Lazovsky shows a small photonic module that moves HBM and DDR memory up to 50 meters from a GPU. The usual distance is 1.5 mm.
The report, a post by Rohan Paul on X, says latency stays in the hundreds of nanoseconds, which it calls close enough for practical memory use. The report gives no measured latency figure or product availability.
