Credo announced a new family of 100G/lane 800G PAM-4 DSPs for datacenter applications. There are two devices: the Lark 800 full retimed solution and the Lark 850 is specifically designed for Linear Receive Optics (LRO), with power consumption under 10W. Scott Wilkinson was asked to share his thoughts on the market.
As AI drives datacenter growth to unprecedented levels, power becomes increasingly important. Every watt dedicated to optical interconnect is a watt that can’t be used for GPU power. With over nine million 800GbE modules deployed in 2024, and more than 14 million forecasted for deployment in 20251, Credo’s Lark DSP can play a pivotal role by reducing a major source of interconnect power consumption inside the datacenter.
