Nova NIC peripetija bude ispala ko P67 - Z68 situacija otprije nekoliko godina.

The two key features that Intel is promoting to users is support for Intel’s new 2.5 GbE controller, the I225-V ($2.40 controller price), in order to drive 2.5 gigabit Ethernet adoption. It still requires the motherboard manufacturer to purchase the chip and put it on the board, and recent events might make that less likely – recent news confirmed by Intel has stated that the first generation of the I225 silicon is not up to specification, and certain connections might not offer full speed (down 10 Mbps from 2500 Mbps) depending on the end-point. As a result Intel is introducing new B2 stepping silicon later this year, and we suspect all motherboard vendors to adopt this.
