Omnipath went the way infiniband is going. Ethernet has caught up, and surpassed the speeds, so using proprietary technology with fewer features isn't that attractive anymore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terabit_Ethernet is faster than the main memory bandwidth on current generation processors.

But not faster than L3 cache bandwidth. Some cards can DMA to L3 cache. Granted, eventually it's flushed to main RAM, so might not help too much in the end.

Cool. That means it both prevents nethammer and allows the cpu to check a signature/decrypt/type check as value stream over the network.
