Or was that a typo in their press release?
Change Mbps to Gbps and you get the 2867 Gbps in the article.
Or maybe they talked to aliens and found a way to get a 1000x increase in performance using exisisting GbE and 802.11ac hardware. Then this might end up being a great deal. :)
But it will be shitload expensive!
or does intel allow this kind of teaming?
Still rumoured to be a 10 core later this year.
And not this plastic crap Bah more crap to take of the mobo before installing it, and like some one else said Intel nic and not some killer nic BS.
Other wise it looks like a nice mobo but it's made by MSI and MSI gear always screw around with RMA's for me. never mind the BS they said about another mobo and support for AM3+ being added to it then they changed their minds so screw'm anyways.
You get better throughput, but the bandwidth stays the same. Just like teaming regular NICs.
This would only result in higher latency and probably syncing issues.
