"Before the RTS5782 hits the market sometime in 2026 – 2027,"
By 2026 those specs would make it also an entry level controller, and pcie6 will be the new high end.

I was thinking the same thing. 2 - 3 years away? That's massive in the computer industry, especially with the way technology has been advancing lately.
 
Now or 2 years down the line, having another player in the consumer market space is good news. I know many people look at Realtek and go meh !!, yes their stuff may lack features or performance compared to Intel but without them, we would be paying more and components wouldn't have advanced.
