Provided is a low latency high bandwidth clock and data recovery (CDR) system. For example, there is a low latency high bandwidth CDR system including a demultiplexer configured to convert a high frequency input datastream to a low frequency output datastream according to a first latency and a phase error processor at least partially embedded into the demultiplexer and configured to determine a datastream phase error of the high frequency input datastream according to a second latency. The embedded phase error processor allows a portion of a total latency of the CDR system due to the demultiplexer and the phase error processor to be less than a sum of the first and second latencies.
