They managed to double from 6 Petabit per second in 2022 to 13 Pbps in 2023. I assume with ConnectX-8 this could be 26 Pbps in 2025/26. The ConnextX-8 is PCI-e 6 so I assume we could get 1.6Tbps ConnextX-9 with PCI-e 7.0 which is not far away.
Cant wait to see the FreeBSD Netflix version of that post.
This also goes back to how increasing throughput is relatively easy and has a very strong roadmap. While increasing storage is difficult. I notice YouTube has been serving higher bitrate video in recent years with H.264. Instead of storing yet another copy of video files in VP9 or AV1 unless they are 2K+.
