Intel Launches Ethernet 800 Series 100GbE Network PCIe Cards

While consumers all are still in their 1 GigE LAN era (with a glimpse of 2.5, 5 and 10 GigE in vicinity), Intel is already moving to 100 GBit/s adapters as they announced a new series of professional network adapters, the Ethernet 800 Series adds Application Device Queues and increases the maximum transfer rate from 40 to 100 Gb/s.

The PCIe cards have been developed under the codename Columbiaville and next to the increased performance, add features like Application Device Queues ensure that each application can request its own queue and that all data is no longer mixed up. The Intel Ethernet 800 series adapter features up to 100Gbps port speeds and is aimed at moving massive amounts of data in cloud, communications, storage and enterprise market segments. ADQ increases application response time predictability while reducing application latency and improving throughput.

The Intel Ethernet 800 Series adapters will see volume production in the third quarter of 2019.

That doesn't look like ordinary Ethernet port. What is it?

It's not particularly exciting. Mellanox have had 100Gb Ethernet cards for years and now offer 200Gb cards.

the difference is, these intel cards are intended for 100Gbe small office and home networks.

The mellanox parts are for enterprise and corporate deployment.

Maybe it would be cheaper to create cable with 82 copper wires, start synchronize and connect PCI-Express x16 slots between computers directly for that sweet 504 Gbps on PCI-E v5.0

. Cable probably will be thick, like 6 ethernet cables combined, and will cost like £10 from China
