Asking Bard/Gemini a question is one thing, understanding the answer is quite another... You claim there are 8 driver chips in a module, which is nonsense. You claim there is $1600 worth of drivers in the module, which is nonsense. You claim eliminating the driver reduces module power by 40%, which is nonsense.

We have this wonderful technology at our disposal called semiconductor-based very-large-scale integration. This enable us to do wild stuff such as integrating the driver circuitry for 8 channels in a single driver integrated circuit, a.k.a. driver chip.

What's more, we can go even crazier and integrate the driver circuitry along with the DSP circuitry, or even with the TIA circuitry, all in a single chip!

Marvell, 1.6T with integrated drivers: https://www.marvell.com/content/dam/marvell/en/public-collateral/dsp/marvell-nova-1.6t-pam4-dsp-for-optical-transceiver-applications-product-brief.pdf

Broadcom, 800G with integrated TIAs and drivers: https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/85812-PB

Hope this helps.
