Overview
Astera Labs is a semiconductor connectivity company whose Intelligent Connectivity Platform (PCIe retimers, smart cable modules, and fabric switches) links GPUs, memory and networking components inside AI server racks, transitioning from a PCIe-retimer supplier into an integral rack-level connectivity provider for NVIDIA's AI server architecture. Q1 2026 revenue hit a record $308.4 million, up 93% year-over-year, with 76.4% non-GAAP gross margin, driven by its new Scorpio X-Series 320-lane AI scale-up fabric switch and rising silicon dollar content per XPU exceeding $1,000.
Dependency Map
One hop in each direction — see Strategic Connections below for the full, sourced breakdown of every relationship.
Strategic Connections
