All good points, but keep in mind the 200gbps is somewhat of a gimmick since pcie3 will top out at 128gbps. It's useful for a redundant port, but you won't be pushing 200gbps for a while.
- en4bz 10y agoApparently they have PCIe4 x16 and PCIe3 x32 models. Not sure if either of these exist at the moment but they so satisfy the PCIe bandwidth constraints.
- kev009 10y agoThey have one that is two PCIe3 x16 connections from one ASIC right now, it uses a ribbon cable :). That's janky, but it does work on currently available platforms. I've heard Mellanox will do a CAPI NIC, which is quite tantalizing.
- shaklee3 10y agoThanks, I didn't see that. But yes, that's weird. In regards to pcie4,I believe the power9 will be the first to have it, but I haven't seen a solid release date for that. Naples didn't look like it had it -- just more pcie3 lanes.
