Tomahawk 5 is an electronic swith chip. Nothing to do with the optical interposer

StrataXGS Tomahawk 5 Series Key Benefits:

• Enables the next generation of unified data center infrastructure with 64 ports of 800GbE switching and routing.
• Virtualization of general compute and AI/ML workloads with single-pass VxLAN routing and bridging.
• Unparalleled physical I/O options using 512 instances of the industry’s highest performance, most flexible, and longest-reach 100G PAM4 SerDes.
• High-precision PTP and SyncE time synchronization.
• Six on-chip ARM processors for high-bandwidth, fully-programmable streaming telemetry, and sophisticated embedded applications such as on-chip statistics summarization.
• Unmatched power efficiency, implemented as a monolithic 5nm die

POET is providing a solution to maxime the utilization of such nertworking switch within the datacenters to adress the transmission of data via pluggables optics for the 400G/800G FR4 (2km-10Km range).

The pluggables are connected to the switch.
