2.5Gb ethernet seems to be starting to trickle out at least. It's becoming a more common thing on desktop motherboards. Doesn't seem like there is a lot of 2.5Gb routers yet though.
- zinekeller 5y agoThank Intel for single-handedly changing the 2.5Gbps landscape by integrating 2.5Gb Ethernet on their chipsets, allowing no-brainer OEM integration. Unfortunately, unless ISP router OEMs (Nokia, Zyxel, Huawei et al.) do their part (the reason being that very few people actually bothers to buy a separate router), we will not see the economies of scale necessary to fully finish 2.5Gb Ethernet.
- ksec 5y agoBut is kind of sad they skip 5Gbps. I thought it was the best compromise for consumer between 1 and 10 Gbps Ethernet.
- wmf 5y ago5 Gbps will probably come to the consumer market around 2030.
