(NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today announced Marvell® Structera™ S 60260, the industry’s first 260-lane PCIe 6.0 switch. Leveraging industry-leading interconnect solutions through the recent acquisition of XConn Technologies, the new industry’s highest-radix PCIe switch extends the Marvell end-to-end PCIe portfolio, offering unique levels of scale-up AI data center performance and design flexibility.\n\n\nAs AI servers integrate increasing numbers of GPUs and accelerators, PCIe scale-up fabrics have become critical to maximizing compute density and resource utilization. Traditional switches require multiple devices to achieve scale, resulting in increased power, latency, board complexity and total cost of ownership. The Marvell Structera S 260-lane PCIe 6.0 switch eliminates the need for multiple smaller switches, enabling higher density, lower latency and improved system efficiency.\n\n\n“The expansion of AI infrastructure to support next-generation AI workloads continues to move at a breathtaking pace, requiring new, higher-performance scale-up fabrics to eliminate existing bottlenecks,” said Rishi Chugh, vice president and general manager, Data Center Switch Business Unit at Marvell. “XConn has been shipping 256-lane PCIe 5.0 switches since 2022. Now, with the industry’s first 260-lane PCIe 6.0 switch at nearly double the lane density of the competition, Marvell is setting a new standard for PCIe scale-up performance.”\n\n\n“PCIe switching has long been foundational to supporting traditional CPU computing architectures and has also now become an essential building block for accelerated data center infrastructure,” said Gerry Fan, senior vice president, engineering, Scale-up Switching at Marvell. “The Structera S PCIe switch is optimized to deliver industry-leading performance, flexibility, low latency and power efficiency for demanding data-intensive applications, including next-generation AI/ML training and high-throughput computing.”\n\n\n“Device-to-device and system-to-system networking is as integral to the data center AI story as individu...
