Wiwynn Partners with Ecosystem to Showcase CPO Optical Interconnect Technology at COMPUTEX

Server manufacturer Wiwynn will showcase its latest Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) optical interconnect technology at COMPUTEX 2026, in collaboration with ecosystem partners such as silicon photonics firm Ayar Labs. Wiwynn announced on the 28th that this year's COMPUTEX will bring together partners including Ayar Labs, Global Unichip (GUC), Broadex, Corning, FOCI, Molex, SENKO, and TE Connectivity to present a complete roadmap for CPO, from chip innovation to data center deployment, marking a new milestone for AI optical scale-up architecture. Wiwynn noted that as demand for performance, bandwidth, and power density in AI compute clusters continues to rise, traditional copper interconnects are becoming a bottleneck. CPO technology tightly integrates optical I/O with AI ASICs, fundamentally reducing signal loss and system power consumption, providing a critical foundation for large-scale AI expansion. Wiwynn CEO and President William Lin stated, 'AI infrastructure is moving toward a new era of optoelectronic integration. Through close collaboration with ASIC, silicon photonics, and fiber optic partners, and by leveraging Wiwynn's expertise in server rack integration and large-scale manufacturing, we are extending CPO technology from chips to systems and rack architectures to accelerate innovation.' To accelerate CPO adoption, Wiwynn has established a strategic partnership with Ayar Labs, integrating their TeraPHY optical engine and SuperNova light source technology into Wiwynn's rack architecture. At the chip and architecture level, Wiwynn is working with GUC to incorporate system integration needs during the design phase. Wiwynn is also collaborating with fiber and connector partners to create a complete optical interconnect solution from server-level fiber routing to rack-level management.
