I'm thinking huge progress recently both on ADC tech and increase in compute power near the rx/tx source, are getting widespread adoption, be it on Ethernet (latest raw lane speed being industrialisés is 224Gbps, useful 200Gbps, and you bunch lanes together in e.g. quad- or octo-sfp/quad-sfp-double-density - not sure osfp-224 is already available...) and get to 800G or 1.6Tbps ifffff you have the switch or controller for this (to my knowledge no Ethernet controller yet - NVIDIA connectx 7 stops at qsfp-112) but it's mostly because of PCIe ?
The future NVIDIA B100 might be PCIe 6.0 but hopefully will support 7.0 and maybe NVIDIA (or someone) gets a NIC working at those speeds by then...
