  • Publication number: 20230420409
    Abstract: Embodiments of an integrated circuit (IC) die comprise: a first region having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being orthogonal to the second surface; and a second region attached to the first region along a planar interface that is orthogonal to the first surface and parallel to the second surface, the second region having a third surface coplanar with the first surface. The first region comprises: a dielectric material; layers of conductive traces in the dielectric material, each layer of the conductive traces being parallel to the second surface such that the conductive traces are orthogonal to the first surface; conductive vias through the dielectric material; and bond-pads on the first surface, the bond-pads comprising portions of the conductive traces exposed on the first surface, and the second region comprises a material different from the dielectric material.

  • Publication number: 20230098017
    Abstract: Technologies for switching network traffic include a network switch. The network switch includes one or more processors and communication circuitry coupled to the one or more processors. The communication circuity is capable of switching network traffic of multiple link layer protocols. Additionally, the network switch includes one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed, cause the network switch to receive, with the communication circuitry through an optical connection, network traffic to be forwarded, and determine a link layer protocol of the received network traffic. The instructions additionally cause the network switch to forward the network traffic as a function of the determined link layer protocol. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
