If that were the case I’d expect to still see at least SOME products utilizing the AMD chipset, even if budget focused. I have literally not seen a single board from any MFG that utilizes the built in NIC. Heck there are Intel Xeon-d chipsets that utilize both the onboard NIC and external Broadcom to get 4x for cheap.
- formerly_proven 3y agoThat's because neither AM4 nor AM5 include provisions for a NIC (MAC) on the SoC. Afaik the chipsets don't, either. Intel chipsets generally have a gigabit MAC, but this is rarely used (apparently it specifically requires an Intel PHY and that's more expensive than a complete NIC from say Realtek). Only the Embedded chips have MACs built in.
