Ultra Ethernet will do almost nothing. It’s a rubber stamped version of Broadcom’s design and Marcel/Cisco/etc will just add it to their asics. Remains to be seen if SpecrumX will or Connectix. If not, none of it matters.
These chips are $30m-$100m projects a pop. After the embarrassingly brutal failure of Barefoot nobody is going to do ASICs.

This is severely underrated work, why aren't there more mid sized companies helping this? Ultra Ethernet just got released.
