[CPO Deep Dive 1/6] Have Pluggable Optics Hit the Wall? Before You Understand CPO, Understand This Wall
Pluggable optics aren't hitting a speed wall — they're hitting a power and density wall. CPO moves electrical-to-optical conversion right next to the ASIC to win back power and density, and it starts in scale-up, where copper can no longer cope, rather than replacing pluggables.

The Great Shift in Optical Packaging (Part 2): CPO's Three-Stage Evolution — Why OBO Died, Scale-Out Moves First, and Scale-Up Is the Endgame
CPO took five years of hype to finally take off. It won't kill pluggables, which still grow to $7.8B; CPO is an additional $5.1B market for 51.2T+ switches and GPU scale-up fabrics. Part 2 breaks down the three-stage evolution and the NVIDIA vs. Broadcom route split.
