pcb design - high speed differential nets crossing on PCB


I have 2 ICs working at 9 gbps. Output of 1 IC is differential CML pair and it goes as input to other IC. On PCB layout, if both ICs are placed on top (component) layer, one ICs positive pin is in front of negative pin of other IC hence positive and negative pins nets are making cross. How can these nets carrying 9 gbps differential CML signal making a cross can be routed? Is making vias a good option to go to another layer?enter image description here

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
