Why this formula appears here
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 period keeps compressing on a fixed clock rather than lengthening as channel loss and signal-to-noise margin close in — is exactly the part the standards process itself is already hedging against: P802.3dj did not simply push PAM-4 harder, it added an 800 Gb/s coherent-signalling option specifically for the reaches where intensity-modulated PAM-4 stops being the…
