Partial quote:
 "What It Does: This first OCI chiplet is designed to support 64 channels of 32 gigabits per second (Gbps) data transmission
 in each direction on up to 100 meters of fiber optics
 and is expected to address AI infrastructure’s growing demands for higher bandwidth, lower power consumption and longer reach.
 It enables future scalability of CPU/GPU cluster connectivity and novel compute architectures,
 including coherent memory expansion and resource disaggregation.

So ever faster ...
