Isn't their primary concern latency? I doubt a few GHz boost would do anything for them.

- ShinTakuya 8y agoDepends on how low the latency already is. If you're already <0.5ms away network wise then perhaps shearing off 0.1ms from a 1ms operation could make a significant difference.
- ShinTakuya 8y agoAlso some types of HFT don't rely on network latency at all, it can be based on other factors.
- xxs 8y ago>Isn't their primary concern latency? It is, but at some point you can't do much more about the network latency; shaving off a couple dozen us, might the difference of getting the price/quote or missing it out. Especially, when you play versus similarly equipped firms.
