According to Precedence Research, the global hyperscale data center market size is projected to reach approximately US$593B by 2030, up from an estimated US$62B in 2021. This massive increase in scale comes at an ever-increasing cost. Climate control measures are often more expensive, operationally, than running the compute. Further, heat removal systems usually have a large, detrimental carbon footprint. Low-power solutions are absolutely critical for these applications.\n\n“With the exponential growth of data traffic within hyperscale cloud networks, the needed increase in interconnect bandwidth in those networks requires a range of lower-power, higher-density interconnect solutions that support the required higher data rates,” said Drew Guckenberger, Vice President of High-Speed Interconnect at MaxLinear. “The extremely low power consumption and small form factors of Keystone solutions enable both 7Watt 400G optical module designs and 13Watt 800G designs. Significantly, we are now also extending these power advantages to the Active Electrical Cable (AEC) market, providing best-in-class power consumption there as well. With the power advantages of 5nm CMOS technol...
