There is nothing dishonest about their announcement: they are explicit that speed is limited by the USB bus:
> While the USB 2.0 connection to the application processor limits the available bandwidth, we still see roughly a threefold increase in throughput compared to Raspberry Pi 3B.
Followed by a table showing 315Mb/s bandwidth, three times that of the 3B but a third that of full-speed Gigabit. And this isn't tucked away in a footnote, it's up front in the middle of the article.

- pmyteh 9y agoThe product page, which is probably what most people see before buying it, simply says 'faster Ethernet': > 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core processor, dual-band wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2/BLE, faster Ethernet, and Power-over-Ethernet support (with separate PoE HAT) I'm a bit cross because of the casual assumption of bad faith, when it seems to me they've gone to some effort to do the opposite: make the limitations clear instead of relying on a buzzword.
