ASMedia
ASMedia also provides PCIe switch / bridge products for consumer and embedded markets.
When selecting a PCIe switch, compare at least:
- lane count and port topology
- generation and backward compatibility
- latency and bandwidth contention behavior
- power/thermal budget
- software/tooling and long-term availability
