CFP features a new concept known as the riding heat sink, in which the heat sink is attached to rails on the host card and “rides” on top of the CFP, which is flat topped.

CXP was created to satisfy the high-density requirements of the data center, targeting parallel interconnections for 12x QDR InfiniBand(120 Gbps), 100 GbE, and proprietary links between systems collocated in the same facility. The InfiniBand Trade Association is currently standardizing the CXP.
