https://www.techpowerup.com/247863/intel-targets-5g-infrastructure-with-latest-silicon-photonics-technology At the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) in Rome, Intel unveiled specifics on new silicon photonics products that are optimized to accelerate the movement of massive amounts of data being generated by new 5G use cases and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Intel projects the total market opportunity for its connectivity business, which includes silicon photonics, to grow from $4 billion today to an estimated $11 billion total addressable market by 2022. So despite a lot of bad press from Intel regarding their CPUs it's good to hear that their other strategies aim to do well.
