Astera Labs launched the Scorpio X‑Series 320 Lane PCIe switch – the industry’s largest open memory‑semantic interconnect switch with 320 configurable lanes. The Scorpio P‑Series also expands to 320 lanes , covering diverse AI cluster needs.

A single chip replaces multiple low‑lane switches, simplifying AI system interconnect while cutting latency and overhead – enabling massive cluster expansion for trillion‑parameter models.

CEO Jitendra Mohan: “Frontier models need interconnect that keeps pace with accelerators.” The chip’s hardware‑accelerated Hypercast and in‑network compute engine can double collective operation performance and improve tokens per watt.

The same day, Astera Labs reported record Q1 2026 revenue: $308.4 million, up 93% YoY , highlighting booming demand for AI interconnect chips.
