I'm sick and tired of 2.5 Gbit Ethernet when NBase-T including 5 and 10 Gbit/s has been around for a decade and TB3/USB4 ports (without any NICs to connect to) reach 40Gbit/s

There are chips from Aquantia/Marvel that can't cost an arm and a leg, so why not put them in?

New AMD platform it's for high computing and gaming. These cases are for light tasks and non gaming. To make it worse, 8300 CPU it's for OEM only.

"They" will milk the 2.5 GbE market as much as possible. Then "they" will re-iterate with 5 GbE, then with 10 GbE.

Using used hardware from large corporations and data centers easily found on eBay, you can jump directly to ~45 GbE for costs similar to new consumer 10 GbE RJ-45 (NICs and switches). I did so 5 years ago at my SOHO. Ideal for moving large (dozens plus gigabytes) files such as VM images, databases, ProxMox VE, etc. You just need to do your home work to learn about the technologies that data centers are replacing, e.g. IP over IB with Mellanox 56Gbps on eBay.

There is plenty of community support information on user forums about enterprise network hardware.

Given that leading edge data centers are now at 400 GbE and 800 GbE, one can hope to find lost cost used 100 GbE hardware on eBay in a few years. Once you reach this kind of network speed you need PC workstations with enough power and internal bus speeds to actually leverage the network bandwidth.

Not useful to the typical gamer user profile tough.
