Meta Test Results Confirm One Million Link Flap-Free CPO 400G Port Device Hours

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO), a global leader in semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today announced a significant milestone in the deployment of Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) technology, highlighting one million cumulative 400G equivalent port device hours of flap-free This achievement underscores the maturity, robustness, and production-readiness of Broadcom’s CPO platform for hyperscale AI applications. Compared to pluggable module solutions, the data highlights that CPO reduces optics power by 65 percent and also demonstrates higher link reliability.

CPO technology is a key enabler for next-generation data center architectures, offering unprecedented bandwidth density and power efficiency by tightly integrating optical engines with switch silicon. Ensuring the reliability of this innovative integration has been a key focus for Broadcom and its partners.

Testing of Broadcom CPO solutions at Meta has demonstrated one million link hours without a single link flap, validating Broadcom’s engineering excellence and rigorous qualification process. Link flaps, brief connectivity disruptions, are a critical reliability metric in high-performance data center networks. The absence of link flaps in Meta’s high-temperature lab characterization environment highlights the industrial-grade stability and reliability of Broadcom’s CPO implementation.

“Achieving one million link flap-free hours is a strong validation of Broadcom’s commitment to quality and innovation,” said Near Margalit, vice president and general manager of Broadcom’s Optical Systems Division. “This milestone shows that CPO is not just a research concept — it is production-proven and ready to scale.”

Broadcom’s CPO platform has been designed from the ground up with system-level reliability in mind, including:

  • Advanced thermal management and control systems
  • Proven optical engine packaging with integrated monitoring
  • Robust firmware and link diagnostics
  • End-to-end validation across electrical, optical, and mechanical domains

As hyperscale data centers push beyond 51.2 Tb/s switch bandwidth, CPO offers a sustainable path forward by addressing the power constraints and physical limitations of traditional pluggable optics. Broadcom continues to collaborate with ecosystem partners to drive CPO adoption and interoperability across the industry.

“This milestone reinforces the long-term vision for co-packaged optics as the foundation for next-generation AI and cloud infrastructure,” added Margalit. “Broadcom is proud to lead this transformation with our growing ecosystem of partners.”

OpenAI should account for 17% of expectations for Nvidia 2027 datacent...

Total capex required to meet OpenAI’s needs could reach ~$130bn by 2027, roughly equal to what consensus forecasts, on average, for each of the top four hyperscalers over the same horizon. In this note, we estimate how much of Nvidia’s datacenter revenue expectations this represents.

The NSR AI datacenter economics cheat sheet

As we spend our days and many of our nights helping you understand what is going on in the world of AI infrastructure, we refine continuously our understanding of the cost of AI, combining our understanding of the economics of every step of the supply chain. We crystalized that in a digestible format today. Everything you need to know about a 1GW datacenter on a single slide.

Oracle: What will life after giant RPOs look like?

Oracle entered a 4.5GW, $300bn, 5-year contract with OpenAI, starting 2027. In our note yesterday, we showed what we know of the deal suggests balanced and straightforward economics, over the life of the contract. Today we extend the analysis: GPUs aren’t scrapped after 5 years, and Oracle may in reality, after these contracts, boost profitability, monetizing fully depreciated assets, much like TSMC at the lagging edge.
