Chip giant Marvell just dropped a bombshell — they're scooping up Celestial AI in a deal that could hit $5.5 billion. This isn't just another acquisition; Celestial specializes in optical interconnect tech for AI workloads, which could reshape data center infrastructure. For anyone tracking computing power evolution, this matters. High-performance chips power everything from AI training clusters to mining operations. As computational demands explode across industries, deals like this signal where the hardware race is heading. Worth watching how this plays into next-gen infrastructure that might eventually support decentralized networks too.

Marvell’s acquisition this time is pretty aggressive—optical interconnect technology really is the future direction for data centers. Optical interconnect + AI computing power? Looks like miners will have to start considering upgrading their infrastructure. ngl, dropping 5.5b just for optical tech—chip manufacturers are truly betting on a decentralized future. This is the real truth behind the hardware arms race: whoever controls interconnects controls the upper limit of computing power. Another giant is laying out infrastructure—small miners will probably be phased out gradually...

NGL, Marvell played this move ruthlessly. Optical interconnects directly target the bottleneck of GPU computing power. Whether the $5.5B investment is worth it depends on how much latency can be saved in the future.

This is a smart move by Marvell. Optical interconnects really are the next step for data centers, but isn't $5.5B a bit overvalued...?

Someone should have worked on optical interconnects a long time ago. With data center power consumption being so outrageous, shouldn't we be looking for solutions? Marvell made a pretty good move here; now it just depends on whether Celestial can actually be implemented.

We really need to keep a close eye on optical interconnect technology; it's a signal of a fundamental transformation in data center infrastructure.

Marvell’s move is ruthless—optical interconnect technology is bottlenecked at the AI data center level... If it really takes off, miners will also benefit from it. The hardware arms race is far from over.

NGL, optical interconnect technology is really going to be a game changer, Marvell made a smart move here. It would be even better if it could be used in on-chain infrastructure, since computing power has always been the bottleneck. $5.5 billion invested, I'm bullish on this wave. Photonics chip race, miners are going to be thrilled. Internet giants are competing for computing power, and we’re just making easy money off data... hmm, wishful thinking.
