As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies advance, the demand for higher-bandwidth interconnects in data center networks is accelerating rapidly. This is particularly evident in compute fabric networks, which connect XPUs within and across racks. The next generation of XPU compute fabric networks will transition to data rates of 200 Gbps per lane, where passive DACs fall short of meeting speed and distance requirements. To address this, cloud data centers will transition to a new type of interconnect that meets their specific requirements. Marvell introduced Alaska A for customers looking to extend copper capabilities using AECs, while others can leverage specialized LPO modules featuring the Marvell TIA and driver chipset. Designed for short and predictable host channels, these LPO modules enable longer reach, higher bandwidth and improved performance compared to copper interconnects. "Marvell 1.6 Tbps LPO TIA and laser driver chipset is designed to address the growing demand for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnect solutions, where passive copper cables are hitting a wall," said Xi Wang , vice president of product marketing for Optical Connectivity at Marvell. "As AI-driven data centers continue to scale, optimizing interconnect solutions across each layer of the network is becoming increasingly critical. The new LPO chipset complements and expands our industry-leading 1.6 Tbps connectivity portfolio, to address the growing spectrum of interconnects that cloud operators are seeking to optimize." "LPO has been a technology in search of the right solution. By optimizing chipsets for short, inside-the-rack connections, Marvell brings clarity and focus to LPO, delivering it in a more compelling and scalable manner," said Alan Weckel , co-founder of 650 Group. "Marvell's innovative approach to achieving performance gains helps drive better AI cluster TCO and highlights the industry's direction in optimizing networking links." The 1.6 Tbps LPO chipset, one of the latest additions to the Marvell interconnect portfolio, is optimized for specific use cases to help data centers maximize infrastructure utilization and performance while reducing overall cost and power per bit. This extensive portfolio spanning optical and copper interconnects includes Ara , the industry's first 3nm PAM4 interconnect platform; Aquila , the industry's first O-band-optimized coherent-lite DSP platform; Nova family of PAM4 DSPs featuring 200 Gbps electrical and optical interfaces; and Alaska A PAM4 DSP for active electrical cables.

More than 2500 appointments for blood and plasma donations need to be filled in the Bay of Plenty region before Christmas to ensure demand can be met throughout the holidays, the New Zealand Blood Service says. A Bay donor says he loves knowing his donations can help people in life-threatening circumstances. In a media release, New Zealand Blood Service national marketing and communications manager Shane Paramore said summer was an “extremely challenging” time to meet demand for blood and blood products. Paramore said people were “understandably busy” before Christmas, then most took a well-earned break. “But the reality is the need for blood and plasma never stops and as New Zealanders stock up for Christmas, we need to do the same,” Paramore said.

Real Madrid's big stars turned on the style to revive the Spanish giant's faltering Champions League title defense on Tuesday. Galacticos Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham all scored in a thrilling 3-2 win at Italian league leader Atalanta. But Madrid still had to ride its luck as Mateo Retegui fired over from in front of goal in stoppage time when handed a golden chance to level the game. It was only Madrid's third win in the competition's revamped league phase and leaves the 15-time champion in the unseeded playoff positions in 18th place. Mbappe was substituted off before halftime with an apparent physical issue. Six-time champion Liverpool leads the way after maintaining its perfect record in Europe this season with a 1-0 win against Girona. Like Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain also picked up a much-needed win, beating Salzburg 3-0 to sit in the last playoff spot in 24th place. Bayer Leverkusen is second after a 1-0 win over Inter Milan, while Aston Villa beat Leipzig 3-2 and is third. Brest is one of this season's surprise packages on its Champions League debut and is fifth after beating PSV Eindhoven 1-0. Mohamed Salah’s 50th Champions League goal maintained Liverpool’s perfect record in the competition this season. The Egypt forward struck a 63rd minute penalty to seal the win in Spain that kept Liverpool atop the 36-team league. But even after a sixth straight win for the Merseyside club, head coach Arne Slot was critical of his players in a game that saw goalkeeper Alisson pull off several saves to keep Girona out. “If you ask me about all the six games, I’m really pleased with all the results, I am really pleased with the five (other) games with the way we played. I’m far from pleased about the performance tonight,” he said. Salah’s goal was his 16th in 22 appearances overall this season. Girona was 30th with just one win from six games. “I almost feel sorry for them because they deserved so much more in this Champions League campaign than the three points they have until now. But we have an incredible goalkeeper,” Slot said. Even after Slot’s criticism, Liverpool continued its outstanding start to the campaign, which also led it the top of the Premier League. Former Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek handed Salah the chance to fire the visitors ahead with a clumsy tackle from behind on Luis Diaz in the box. Salah stepped up to convert the penalty and Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga went the wrong way. Liverpool’s two remaining games are against Lille at home and PSV Eindhoven away in January. U.S. international Christian Pulisic is the only player to have scored against Liverpool in this season’s Champions League in a 3-1 loss for Milan in September. Bayern Munich routed Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 to move into the automatic qualifying positions for the round of 16. Michael Olise scored twice as Bayern came back from going 1-0 down inside five minutes to a goal from Brazilian winger Kevin. Sporting Lisbon couldn’t build on taking a third-minute lead at Club Brugge — losing 2-1 in Belgium. Dinamo Zagreb drew 0-0 with Celtic and both teams remain in the playoff positions.

Cimpl Arena. Chris Dixon scored 18 points to lead York (3-5). Carl Thorpe Jr. finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and four assists. The Panthers’ other three starters — Rhino Hernandez, Ikechukwu Nwaobi and Andrew Bennett — each had nine points, with Bennett grabbing a team-high 12 rebounds in the victory. Tash Lunday finished with 23 points and 13 rebounds for Mount Marty. Angok Akot posted 20 points and 11 rebounds, a career high in scoring for the redshirt sophomore. “I thought he did a good job of being ready to go tonight,” MMU head coach Collin Authier said of Akot. “He was very efficient and was locked in from the start. He had a tough test on the other end against Andrew Bennett inside, but I thought he did a good job of trying to fight the best he possibly could.” Also for MMU, Brandon Garcia finished with eight points and six assists. Jake Jensen had seven points and four assists. York used a strong start from outside to take the early advantage. The Panthers’ had a run of five three-pointers in six scores to push from a 12-11 deficit to a 28-20 lead. “We just didn't have the right process to start the game,” Authier said. “From the very first possession, we just didn't do what we were supposed to do with the level of intentionality and aggressiveness that we needed to on the defensive end.” On the offensive end, Akot went to work, scoring six straight buckets for the Lancers to keep York from pulling away further. In the second half, it was Lunday’s turn to power the offense, as the junior scored 19 of his game-high 23 points in the second half. “We played through Angok and Tash quite a bit tonight. They were the guys that were efficient and really had it going,” Authier said. “They just found themselves in the right spot at the right time to be able to reap the benefits of guys attacking.” After trailing for a large chunk of the game, MMU pulled ahead 47-46 with 13:39 to play. The teams traded the lead back and forth, with the Lancers leading 64-61 with 6:37 to play. But the Panther defense stepped up down the stretch, holding the Lancers to a Mac Ryken three-pointer with 12 seconds left — MMU’s only made three-pointer of the game — to claim the victory. The setback snapped MMU’s three-game win streak. The Lancers, 6-3, return to action Wednesday with a Great Plains Athletic Conference showdown at Doane. “Doane’s going to be pretty hungry for a conference win, and we haven’t played well in Crete in a while,” Authier said. “We’ve got to have a refresher, remember what got us to the success we’ve had: how consistent you have to be, your intentionality with it, your readiness for it. “We need to play better than we did tonight.” Follow @JCimburek on Threads and BlueSky.KIB strengthens its strategic partnership with the Union of Cooperative Societies
