Embedded World 2026 | Nuremberg | March 10–12 | Booth 4A-628
[Langen/Germany, Yokohama/Japan, March 2, 2026] --- Socionext, a leading innovator in the semiconductor industry, is redefining what’s possible in custom silicon, delivering application-optimized solutions that meet the rising demands of intelligent, high-bandwidth, and energy-efficient systems. At Embedded World 2026, the company will showcase its latest generation of architectures designed for the next wave of AI, automotive, data center, and edge compute. A key part of this presentation highlights the pivotal role of advanced PCIe® connectivity in enabling the centralized compute platforms that are shaping the future of automotive electronics.
Socionext will showcase a live demonstrator of its automotive high-performance compute (HPC) platform, integrating two automotive-qualified technologies: The SANDISK® AT EN610 NVMe™ SSD and Socionext’s SC1900 PCIe® Gen4 switch. This platform highlights how combining high-performance storage with advanced PCIe® switching provides a flexible, scalable foundation for next-generation ADAS, high-performance compute (HPC), and in vehicle infotainment (IVI) architectures built around centralized storage.
“Our goal at Socionext is to deliver silicon solutions that anticipate our customers’ next challenges,” says Stephan Ahles, Marketing Manager at Socionext Europe. “Working with Sandisk allows us to combine advanced PCIe® switching with high-performance SSD technology - a powerful pairing for next-generation ADAS and IVI systems delivering the performance, reliability, and long-term upgradeability required for the new era of autonomous mobility.”
The integration of Sandisk and Socionext products delivers a platform that enables customers to rapidly develop modern HPC architectures featuring multiple interconnected automotive SoCs. Centered around a PCIe® switch and shared NVMe™ storage, the platform provides flexible, low-latency, high-bandwidth communication ideally suited for demanding automotive workloads such as AI inferencing and camera data processing. Advanced features include multicast - for parallel distribution of sensor data to multiple compute SoCs - and virtualized access to shared SSD storage via SR-IOV, enabling efficient resource sharing and robust system scalability.
The Socionext SC1900 PCIe® switch contributes multi-root support, SR-IOV, multicast, robust access control, and flexible partitioning, delivering secure and optimized connectivity for diverse compute domains. Complementing this, SANDISK® AT EN610 NVMe™ SSD provides high performance tailored for automotive deployments, including multiple namespaces and configurable TLC/SLC modes to meet varying endurance and performance demands.
