Intel is raising the bar for what I will be looking for in the future for NAS, Router and Switches.
2x 10GbE ports active at only 11W power requirement is very impressive. As is support for 2.5GbE and 5GbE modes as well.
5.4 times higher network performance (from Rangeley based platforms), including VPN.
And 6 times higher storage performance (of the Avoton-based platforms).
Of course, we won't see these changes immediately in the consumer space we're involved in. But it is exciting to see this progress being made all the same.
Why is the above so important for AC class performance routers? Because we are already at the point where 1GbE LAN and WAN ports limit the total throughput of the best routers (not to mention the best ISP's). The newly introduced parts above will help greatly to minimize this effect as the routers continue improving into the highest spec'd AC class products we were promised two years ago (8 antennae, 8 stream, MU-MIMO w/160MHz channel width).
I wonder how long it will take for a sub $400 router or sub $1,000 NAS to show up with the spec's in the link above?
Is anyone else interested in this?
