@gamercat Wrong history conclusions, wrong application purpose, that's not how hosters/data centers work. These cards might be useful for small companies with 2-3 strong servers but anything bigger or smaller is built differently than you could benefit from a dedicated Soc on the network card.
Such a card for say 10-25 Gbit would be ideal for any home computer to have a clean firewall between Windows and the network but anything else is nonsense
