Where the article explains it
Writing per-lane rate as a function of time, with the most recent standardised rate at time and T the assumed doubling period: R(t) = 2^{(t - )/T} Anchoring at = 200 Gb/s per lane, = 2026 , and holding the most recently observed four-year doubling period fixed gives R(2035) = 200 2^{9/4} 950 Gb/s per lane by 2035 — essentially a 1 Tb/s single electrical lane.
The passage around this formula
Anchoring at = 200 Gb/s per lane, = 2026 , and holding the most recently observed four-year doubling period fixed gives R(2035) = 200 2^{9/4} 950 Gb/s per lane by 2035 — essentially a 1 Tb/s single electrical lane. That number is offered to be doubted, not believed. The assumption it encodes — that the doubling…
