Consumer? Even in the "if-you-need-to-ask-what-it-costs-you-can't-afford-it" world of frontier HPC systems, were only getting teasers of 0.8 Tbit/sec NICs this year. As you say, only the GPU, maybe RAM, and the NIC will be able to churn data at these speeds. There is a reason why Mellanox (Nvidia) has developed GPUDirect RDMA, so the GPU and NIC can talk directly to each other. https://www.servethehome.com/this-is-the-next-gen-nvidia-connectx-8-supernic-for-800gbps-networking/ https://www.servethehome.com/this-is-the-next-gen-nvidia-con...
