6.6 Gbps! 🤯
Why would anyone ever need a bandwidth/throughput like that on a phone?

@millihertz
Won't doing NAT be a problem for the SoCs we have today?
If the phone were to act as a VPN box, it would most certainly explode, but won't even simple NAT work become a significant workload at such throughputs? 🤔
Besides, I don't think a lot of people packs such a bandwidth even on their home wired connections — I don't. Why would they want it everywhere?
There is potential demand for that of course, such as VR, but… I don't know.
