Wouldn't the fact that it's using a 22nm processor mean that 8 years is at least a couple years too far?

- rnxrx 9y agoPossibly, but it's in the right neighborhood. It depends on whether we're counting from the time of design/initial fabrication or actual mass production and general sale. The point is that 12.5Gb/s SerDes pretty much means they'd be practically to 10/40G. At least in the DC networking world this puts it several generations back.
