Industry Leaders Embrace PCIe 7.0 for AI Data Center
Infrastructure
The new Synopsys PCIe 7.0 IP solution is backed by leading
companies to meet the market demand for advanced, trusted
interconnects that enable engineering teams to start their next
generation of HPC and AI chip designs with confidence.
"Accelerating every interconnect within the data center,
including PCI Express, is critical to address the performance
demands of AI clusters at scale," said Debendra Das Sharma, Senior Fellow and Chief I/O
Architect at Intel Corporation. "The combination of Synopsys IP for
PCIe 7.0 and Intel's future generation products will offer system
architects both the bandwidth needed for the most demanding data
center workloads and seamless ecosystem integration."
"PCI Express is at the core of our portfolio of purpose-built
connectivity solutions that are used by all major hyperscalers and
AI platform providers," said Casey
Morrison, Chief Product Officer, Astera Labs. "PCIe 7.0 is
essential to deliver a 2x bandwidth boost at minimal latency which
are both critical goals for rapidly evolving Generative AI and
high-performance computing applications. We applaud Synopsys for
being at the forefront of enabling the PCIe 7.0 ecosystem."
"PCI Express technology has been essential to the evolution,
performance, and interoperability of modern data center server
