AI leader Nvidia has said it is investing a total of $4 billion in Lumentum and Coherent to innovate optics technology for scaling next-gen data centre architecture as part of its AI infrastructure buildout strategy. The announcement comes days after reports emerged that Nvidia is planning to launch a new AI processor to speed up computing.
Nvidia will invest $2 billion in Lumentum and Coherent each. Both companies are developing systems to generate or transmit light for functions like data transfer and sensing. Optical interconnects and advanced package integration facilitate ultrahigh-bandwidth and energy-efficient connectivity across AI factories.
