Cornelis Unveils Ambitious Omni-Path Interconnect Roadmap

The Next Platform, Thursday, August 24,2023

As we are fond of pointing out, when it comes to high performance, low latency InfiniBand-style networks, Nvidia is not the only choice in town and has not been since the advent of InfiniBand interconnects back in the late 1990s.

And while it has skipped the 200 Gb/sec generation, it is still selling an improved 100 Gb/sec Omni-Path Express variant and setting the stage for its future 400 Gb/sec generation.
