"I know people will argue citing 640k being enough for everyone and have some edge case that needs this but.... 25gbps is overkill." There is actually a semi-reasonable case for there being a limit on useful bandwidth for most purposes. Exact numbers are hard to come by for many reasons both obvious and subtle but around 25gpbs you're getting to the point that with reasonable compression you can saturate a human's entire sensorium with retina-quality video, full audio, touch, proprioception, etc. While there are use cases that exceed that, like running a search across the entire locally-stored output of the Large Hadron Collider, you're certainly getting to the point where the applications are getting more and more specialist relative to the average person sitting in their home, no matter how exotic the the requirements. I mean we're literally talking about having enough data bandwidth to stream your next-next-next-next-gen VR system a holodeck-like experience for you.
