Why is its core still the generic PCIe standard?Because AWS does not plan to develop its own switch chips for inter-die data forwarding. Custom interconnects typically need such chips, so it is unlikely to move away from PCIe. Looking ahead, AWS may instead become a purchaser of UALink, the open interconnect standard formed by AMD and others. The latest NeuronLink is built on PCIe Gen6 and delivers 2,304 GB/s bidirectional bandwidth per card. Nvidia and AMD's new schemes reach 3.6 TB/s, about 1.6x AWS.A scale-up interconnect must address three issues: line rate, error handling, and the set of cross-chip operations. The most critical is the first, the per-lane rate, which is determined by the SerDes. Nvidia's in-house SerDes reaches 200G, and AMD, using Broadcom silicon, also reaches 200G. PCIe Gen6 is only 64G, roughly one-third of that. To make up bandwidth, either wait for PCIe to speed up in future gens or add more lanes.$Amazon(AMZN.US) https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/dolphin/post/44283715?channel=OWNN00110" datetime: "2026-10-13T07:18:20.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/dolphin/post/44299943.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/dolphin/post/44299943.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/dolphin/post/44299943.md) author: "[Dolphin Research](https://longbridge.com/en/dolphin.md)" generator: "portal-rs" --- # AWS paired its in-house AI chip Trainium (Trn) wit… ### Related Stocks - [AMD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMD.US.md) - [AMZN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZN.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [GOOGL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOGL.US.md) - [AVGO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AVGO.US.md) - [GOOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOG.US.md) - [GOOGN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOGN.US.md) - [AMZD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZD.US.md) - [AMZU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZU.US.md) - [AMZZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZZ.US.md) ## Comments (3) - **KaiSiang · 2026-10-13T22:18:29.000Z**: Nice one - **Dolphin fans** (2026-10-14T03:03:29.000Z): 🤝🤝 - **NewUser_X · 2026-10-13T21:57:11.000Z**: 👍 --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
