        We get into the new cheap 10GbE NICs and switches that will make 10Gbase-T cheaper in 2026. We expect chips like the Realtek RTL8127, Marvell AQC113C, and Intel E610 to make 10Gbase-T a reality. Also, we have so many new 10GbE switches that we are using our new Ixia / Keysight IxNetwork setup to test, giving us low-level performance data on these devices.
