Jeff GeerlingI tested WisdPi's 10G Ethernet Expansion Card for Framework computers.
Good news: It can hit 9.4 Gbps, in certain scenarios. And it'll be < $100.
Bad news: It uses USB-C and that means the combinations where it'll hit full speed are limited π₯²
AndrΓ©@geerlingguy no Thunderbolt alternate mode?
@asltf Not on this particular chip :(
Blame Realtek... maybe they can make a new USB4 version!
Sterling@geerlingguy
Impressive.
How long do you think it will be until it will be worth upgrading to 10Gbps ethernet for the "average joe" ?

@AG100pct I think 2.5G is still adequate for most use cases. The nice thing is 2.5G is now nearing the pricing of 1G from a few years ago, and most new switches and motherboards seem to settle on 2.5 as a baseline.
10G still needs a few more low cost / low power chipsets before it'll be able to take off in the same way.
@geerlingguy
I agree.
Of course this all requires a higher bandwidth connection to really benefit from.
Thanks for the reply

Burak GΓΌrsoy@geerlingguy what is connected on the other end? Iβm reluctant to touch the current 2 x 24port GbE switches, altough the number of high speed devices keep increasing on the LAN with the upgrades.
null_scum@geerlingguy Can you hit > 9 Gbps with iperf on Linux if you increase the thread count (4)? With default MTU I often don't see 10G with a single thread
@null_scum I tried with 1, 2, and 4 threads and got the same in all cases; the modern Intel/AMD cores seem to do okay with one thread up to 10 Gbps or so.
