Unclear until a chip packaging expert posts a deep-dive here or on similar sites.
Huh? The speed of electrical transmission through copper is 95% of the speed of light, so for all practical purposes at the circuit level optics do not transmit signals significantly faster than electricity. Also optics are only more energy efficient with silicon photonics, which are nascent. If you need optical transceivers you need more power, have more cost, and higher latency.

9. Conclusions
In conclusion, the emergence of ONoC technology offers a promising solution to address the limitations of traditional electronic interconnects, such as bandwidth constraints, high latency, and power consumption issues. Within ONoC design architectures, optical routers play a critical role by enabling high-speed, low-latency data transfer, efficient data routing, and meeting the scalability requirements of modern computing systems. This study serves as an introductory resource for beginners, providing a fundamental understanding of ONoC and optical routers, while also offering a comprehensive survey and analysis for experts. It focuses on three main categories of router architectures: microring resonators (mrrs), MZIs, and hybrid designs. Additionally, the study provides insights into the specific advantages and limitations of these router architectures.
According to google he got his citizenship in 1987. So yeah, quite a while ago.
"Yes, Lip-Bu Tan is a naturalized U.S. citizen, according to news articles and his biography from Intel. He was born in Malaysia and raised in Singapore before coming to the United States for his education. He became a naturalized citizen in 1987"
Folks argue that Intel is important to the US given that it’s one of two us based companies doing leading edge logic semiconductor research (the other being IBM research). Given the broken culture, terrible execution and unsustainable finances, should the US government just give up, withdraw CHIPs act money for Intel and beg TSMC to be more aggressive about ramping leading edge nodes faster in Arizona. It seems like Intel Foundry makes Boeing look like a competent and well run manufacturer.
IBM semi research is a joke. Their processes don't yield. There is a world of difference between a research paper and running actual silicon in high volume.
Not sure why you keep advocating for the US to seed the most important industry in the foreseeable future to some other country.
