2.5G is absolutely nothing for modern chipsets and processors.

  And do they cost the same? I also wouldn't call it nothing, 2.5g switches have much higher consumption and get hotter, let alone 10g.

    I’ve got 2.5G switches at home and they easily run off 12V 0.8A power adapters (8 port 2.5G 1x 10g)

      I don’t know if you mean managed switches, but unmanaged switch processing is way less complex than routing.

      Switching packets in hardware is trivial (assuming you have a chip). If you want to process them in software you need something more beefy.
