    "excerpt": "CHANDLER, Ariz., Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announced a demonstration showcasing an end‑to‑end PCIe ® Gen 6 storage architecture, combining Microchip’s Switchtec™ PCIe Gen 6 switches with high-performance Micron 9650 NVMe ® solid state drives (SSDs). The demonstration highlights the role of next‑generation PCIe technology in enabling higher data throughput, reduced latency and scalable connectivity for AI, high‑performance computing (HPC) and cloud data center workloads. At the 2026 Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) Conference, the demonstration features a Microchip Switchtec Gen 6 PCIe fanout switch acting as a high‑bandwidth, low‑latency interconnect between host processors and multiple Micron 9650 SSDs enabling the drives to operate at the full potential of Gen 6 speed. The architecture supports composable and disaggregated system designs, allowing data center architects to scale storage resources efficiently while maintaining predictable performance. “Advancing data center performance is not solved by any single component and our work with Micron highlights the importance of taking a cohesive approach,” said Brian McCarson, corporate vice president and GM of Microchip’s data center solutions business unit. “We’re bringing together complementary strengths in switching and storage to demonstrate how a well‑aligned ecosystem...",
