Insights
Credo's announcement of PCIe 6/7 and CXL 3.x/4.x retimers represents a significant technological advancement in high-speed data connectivity. These new products are poised to address the increasing bandwidth demands in data centers and AI applications. Key points to consider:
- The use of mature process nodes (TSMC N7 for PCIe 6 and N5 for PCIe 7) could provide a cost advantage over competitors
- Enhanced diagnostic tools, including an embedded logic analyzer, should facilitate faster system integration for customers
- Collaboration with Intel on pre-silicon co-simulation indicates strong industry partnerships
- The timing of product sampling (Q4 2024 for PCIe 6 and H2 2025 for PCIe 7) aligns well with expected market demand
While this announcement positions Credo favorably in the high-speed connectivity market, the long lead time to revenue generation and intense competition in this space should be considered when evaluating the company's prospects.
This product announcement, while technologically significant, has immediate financial impact for Credo. Key financial considerations include:
- No immediate revenue impact, as products won't sample until Q4 2024 (PCIe 6) and H2 2025 (PCIe 7)
- Potential for future market share gains in the growing high-speed connectivity segment
- Cost advantages from using mature process nodes could lead to higher margins once products are commercialized
- R&D expenses likely to remain elevated as Credo continues to invest in next-gen technologies
Investors should view this as a long-term strategic move rather than a near-term financial catalyst. The company's ability to execute on this roadmap and secure design wins will be important for translating this technological advancement into financial success. Monitor customer adoption rates and design win announcements in the coming quarters for early indicators of potential financial impact.

“Credo is excited to extend our leadership into a new category of high-speed connectivity with the introduction of the Toucan PCIe 6 and Magpie PCIe 7 retimers,” said Phil Kumin of Credo, Associate Vice President of PCIe Product. “By leveraging a mature process technology node, we are well positioned to achieve a cost advantage over our competition. Furthermore, with our SerDes already under evaluation on Tier 1 reference platforms, Credo is well positioned to capitalize on the AI industry’s transition to PCIe 7 and take advantage of the throughput improvement.”
“As PCIe speeds climb to 64GT/s and 128GT/s, retimers are increasingly critical components,” said Dr. Debendra Das Sharma, Intel Senior Fellow, Chief Architect of I/O Technology and Standards in the Data Center Platforms and Artificial Intelligence Group at Intel Corporation. “As a leader in PCIe, we commend Credo for their investment in PCIe6/CXL3.x and PCIe7/CXL4.x retimers and we’re excited to collaborate with them on pre-silicon co-simulation.”
Credo’s Toucan PCIe6/CXL3.x retimer, based on the TSMC N7 process technology, will sample in Q4, 2024. Toucan offers a full DSP SerDes to support PAM4 PCIe channels up to 43dB, enhanced diagnostic tools including an embedded logic analyzer, and x16 power of 11W. Credo’s Magpie PCIe7/CXL4.x retimer, based on the TSMC N5 process node, will begin sampling in H2 2025.
