Will be fun to see what can be done with pcie5 stuff and new 400g NICs. Really amazed by the recent increase in bandwidth. Sfp56 recently becoming 'mainstream'

Will be fun to see what can be done with pcie5 stuff and new 400g NICs. Really amazed by the recent increase in bandwidth. Sfp56 recently becoming 'mainstream' in datacenters with 200G controlers at <1500 each, you can stuff 8 or 10 of those in your server. And you get immediate x2 with next gen. If you can offload some of the heavy work to one (or several) GPUs or these FPGA accelerator boards (Alveo or more niche but also crazy ReflexCES with eth-800G capability) you're really starting to get a 'datacenter in a box' system. If compacity is important, the next years are going to be very interesting.
