Look at across the entire hardware space and you see the practice is incremental upgrades, from smartphones to computer components. No way do hardware vendors release the best they have to offer, they always keep something in the pocket to get your money another day. As an example intel have been making 16 core cpu's for years, yet we only got their first consumer 8 core cpu earlier this year. |
Re: New DSLReports speedtester
Hardware vendors don't release the best they've got because it's too expensive.
10GBase-T has been around since 2006. If there were demand for it there would be more units produced and it would be more common. You're complaining about 10GBase-T being an unnecessary incremental upgrade. I'm just pointing out that it is not. Something is needed to fill the gap as 10GBase-T hasn't come close to the levels of usage it was expected to originally. Of course hardware vendors don't release their absolute state of the art as consumer products except in rare occasions like GPUs where some nutters will pay nearly £1k for a graphics card. It's. Too. Expensive. Intel have been making 16 core CPUs, yes. How many people run applications that actually make use of 16 cores? I have a machine that has 16 cores, 2 x 8 core Xeon. It's my home lab machine and runs ESXi. I rarely have it switched on as it eats electricity like a beast and blasts out so much heat it raises the temperature noticeably in the floor above. I would suggest that's not a common usage scenario, so they have been targeted at businesses. The big power whores for CPUs are gamers, for whom most games don't make much use of multithreading and fewer, faster cores are preferable, and things like video transcoding, which is something that lends itself well to multithreading but will be done on enterprise kit. It's the same argument as with broadband. People don't want to pay for the latest and greatest for the most part, they just want good enough. The vast majority of VM's customer base continue to take the lowest sold product. |
Re: New DSLReports speedtester
I would prefer 10gbit over 2.5gbit, but I am just saying how business looks at it.

It's a lot pricier than it should be :(

On the other hand, I don't know a single datacentre core that doesn't run on 10GbE already. Everywhere I know that actually needs 10GbE has it, with many moving beyond. Still, as I mentioned before I suspect the pricing and take-up may change significantly over the next couple of years thanks to certain very large, powerful companies bundling it into mass-market consumer gear at below-cost prices.

P.S. 22-core Broadwell-EP is due out in the next month or two. ---------- Post added at 19:45 ---------- Previous post was at 19:40 ---------- Quote:

Re: New DSLReports speedtester
Included in the $300 a month or extra?
I'd normally say that'd definitely make it a SME product and not "rich home user" but that said, it's fanless. Fanless. |
Re: New DSLReports speedtester
It's included in the price.
It's environmentally hardened kit, it's intended more for use as an access router than taking a 10Gb feed for a property. I've a suspicion Comcast know they won't sell many and are reusing surplus metro net equipment as CPE :) |

Should be perfectly sufficient for your 600Mbps+ dual-WAN requirement though :D |
