ASMedia Technology is set to debut its latest PCIe Packet Switch solution, the ASM58048, at Computex 2025. This new offering highlights the company´s comprehensive PCIe product range, which spans from PCIe Gen 2 through Gen 6 and accommodates channel configurations from 3 up to 80 channels. Development on the forthcoming PCIe Gen 5 ASM68080 series is also progressing, with a fully verified PHY design nearly finalized. After launching the ASM58048, ASMedia plans to release several other products supporting 24 to 80 channels, alongside ongoing development efforts focused on PCIe Gen 6 technology.
Beyond PCIe, ASMedia is making substantial strides in USB4 controller solutions. Its ASM4242 host controller has been integrated into high-end motherboards and laptops from leading brands, achieving certification for both USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 standards. Another product, the ASM2464PDX USB4 controller, is designed with edge computing in mind, particularly for Artificial Intelligence applications. This controller facilitates plug-and-play external GPU setups by converting PCIe Gen 4 signals into USB4. This innovation allows seamless external connections of graphics cards, NVMe SSDs, and Wi-Fi modules, offering external performance that matches or approaches that of internal installations.
ASMedia´s diverse portfolio illustrates its commitment to advancing wired connectivity for emerging computing workloads. The company´s solutions aim to address the growing demand for scalable high-speed data transfer—whether for desktop workstations or Artificial Intelligence at the edge. With the scheduled market sampling of ASM58048 in the third quarter of 2025 and ongoing development of both PCIe and USB4 products, ASMedia is positioning itself as a key enabler for the next generation of external and internal connectivity technologies.
