Astera Labs发布Aries 7：首个PCIe 7信号调理产品组合

Aries 7 Smart Retimers, Smart Redrivers, Smart Cable Modules, and Smart Optical Driver and TIAs are expected to begin sampling in Q4 2026

we work with ecosystem partners such as Astera Labs

Aries 7 Smart Optical Drivers and Optical TIAs enable that same intelligence in low power, high density NPO and LPO

Astera Labs’ Intelligent Connectivity Platform integrates CXL®, Ethernet, NVLink Fusion, PCIe®, and UALink™ semiconductor-based technologies

Both companies are now collaborating with Astera Labs to lead the industry's transition to PCIe 7.

Intel’s collaboration with Astera Labs builds on multiple generations of PCIe retimer validation and extends that proven interoperability toward PCIe 7, helping customers design scalable platforms with greater confidence and flexibility.

Yet doubling PCIe data rates shrinks signal margins

Astera Labs (Nasdaq: ALAB) provides rack-scale AI infrastructure through purpose-built connectivity solutions.

Aries 7 Smart Retimers, Smart Redrivers, Smart Cable Modules, and Smart Optical Driver and TIAs are expected to begin sampling in Q4 2026 to select hyperscale, OEM, and NPO customers

Pairing our photonic engines with Astera Labs' Aries 7 Smart Optical Driver and TIA lets us hit the reach and density targets that multi-rack AI fabrics need, without the power and latency penalties of a retimed optical module.

Aries 7 portfolio is designed to enable PCIe 7 connectivity across chip-down solutions

we work with ecosystem partners such as Astera Labs to help customers build flexible, interoperable AI systems.

The expanded Aries 7 portfolio offers hyperscalers, neoclouds, OEMs and ODMs a comprehensive connectivity platform that now extends reach from centimeters of PCB trace to 50+ meters over optical cables spanning multiple racks.

AMD and Intel have each validated Aries Smart Retimers in production across their platforms from PCIe 4 through 6.

customers do not adopt PCIe 7, optical interconnects (including near package optics and linear pluggable optics), or the OCP Signal Conditioner Standard Footprint on the expected timelines or at all;

Aries 7 portfolio is designed to enable PCIe 7 connectivity across chip-down solutions, smart cable modules including near package optics (NPO), linear pluggable optics (LPO), and copper—giving customers the flexibility to optimize for reach, power and density for each link in a…
