A Mac Studio is over 100 W while a 25G NIC is under 25 W (that's the power limit for a normal PCIe slot).

- ssl-3 2mo agoA normal x16 PCIe slot has always been able to supply up to 75w since the beginning.
- wmf 2mo agoA normal non-GPU PCIe x4/x8 slot that you'd use for a NIC provides 25 W.
- altairprime 2mo agoFor a 25G NIC, I’d be perfectly unsurprised if it demanded an x16 slot. I’d be more surprised if it didn’t have a power connector like a video card, though.
- StillBored 2mo agoI might be hallucinating, but IIRC this is now dependent on PCIe revision. More recent revisions have removed the slot power limits line, and so it works out that in theory a x4 slot (or any other size) can have a 75W load. IIRC this is stated in the middle of a giant section on up/down plugging. (but its also displayed in the pcie PowerLimit capabilities you can see with lspci)
