Metachips Intelligence

Understand what changes next.

Original, non-confidential analysis inspired by deep work across silicon, systems, infrastructure and economics.

Decision brief

800VDC: architecture shift or supplier reshuffle?

Conversion stages, safety, qualification, content per rack and the deployment conditions that determine adoption.

Deep systems

CPO, LPO or pluggables: where optics move next

Thermal, serviceability, yield, power and topology tradeoffs across scale-up and scale-out networks.

Architecture

KV cache is becoming infrastructure

Why memory capacity, movement, reuse and disaggregation increasingly define inference system design.

Economics

The real cost per token

A system model including utilization, power, memory, networking, cooling, software and depreciation.

Infrastructure

Behind-the-meter power beyond the queue

Schedule control, reliability, curtailment, fuel risk and the option value of independent generation.

AI fabric

Ethernet versus InfiniBand is the wrong question

The actual decision turns on operations, congestion, topology, software and workload communication patterns.

Hyperscalers

Why custom silicon succeeds or fails

Workload control, software investment, volume, roadmap stability and fleet-level utilization.

Capital strategy

What a 1 GW AI campus really commits

Phasing, grid dependencies, equipment lead times, construction sequencing and stranded-capacity risk.

Future systems

Three systems: chip, rack and data center

Why future architectures must optimize across all three boundaries rather than treating them separately.
