The post Industry-Leading, High-Volume Scorpio Smart Fabric Switches and Aries Smart Retimers Achieve Compliance at First PCI-SIG 6.x Workshop appeared first on ASTERA LABS, INC..

We’ve recently hit a new milestone on our journey to deliver “AI Your Way” to hyperscalers and AI model labs through continued commitment to open scale-up standards and broad interoperability. Astera Labs’ high-volume Scorpio™ Smart Fabric Switches and Aries Smart Retimers have passed PCI-SIG® compliance testing for PCIe® 6 at the specification’s first-ever compliance workshop for this generation. Passing on the first attempt is a strong signal of design maturity. This was the industry’s first-ever PCIe 6.x compliance workshop, testing entirely new PAM4 signaling against a rigorous set of electrical, configuration, link-protocol, and transaction-protocol checks, with no established playbook to…
