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 🙂.

These are not consumer products. Did you even read the whole thing?
Astyanax
apparently you didn't comprehend what you read.
Mundosold
What? These are not consumer/home cards. They are enterprise/datacenter/SAN cards. No home user needs a 100Gbps fiberoptic LAN that they'd never be able to saturate.
Richard Nutman
Not to mention you're talking about $5,000 minimum for a switch with 100Gb ports.
Astyanax
i think you both need to go back and look at what was written, nowhere was it said these were not for home users, and yes therea re home uses whi have 10gbe and are looking at upgrading to 100.
back to the corners of the darkweb you go.
Richard Nutman
You said they were specifically for small office and home use. Nowhere does it state that.
"a new series of professional network adapters"
"is aimed at moving massive amounts of data in cloud, communications, storage and enterprise market segments"
I mean you could use it at home, but you could also use Mellanox NIC's at home too, so I really have no idea what you're talking about.

It states pretty clearly in the article that these cards are for enterprise use.....

What sort of damn home user would want to upgrade to 100GbE at this point in time?

I more curious to when built in 100GbE cards are coming to Motherboards wifi adaptor has gone past 1Gb long time ago Ethernet still at 1Gb.
Yes most ISP dont even push 500mbit yet and there is very few that actual do 1Gb none the less, why is it wifi adaptor and router wifi can go past 1Gb but Ethernet still only 1Gb.

Hah. 4 high-end NVMe drives in RAID0 would be needed to saturate such a link from one PC to another.
