Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeOne vendor's maximum rated module power; host power and other vendors' modules differ. NVIDIA's August 2025 illustration puts a 1.6T DSP pluggable at about 30 W (20 W DSP + 10 W laser; Chapter 16.2).
CaveatOne vendor's datasheet maximums, not a measured fleet average.
