The data rate of this initial chip is 2.5 gigabits per second ; the architecture supports a rate of 10 gigabits per second .

The iteration of silicon photonics unveiled by Intel last week can achieve data rates of 100 gigabits per second , eclipsing the standard eight-gigabits-per-second rate of copper PCI-E data cables that connect servers on a rack , or even the Ethernet networking cables that connect the racks together ( those cables can generally handle roughly 40 gigabits per second at the high end ) .
Since each wavelength channel has the transmission rate over several gigabits per second , the failures of fiber links or nodes may lead a lot of traffic to be blocked .
