Having dived deeper, this is under the tier 1 requirements under California's energy efficiency limits. Which the California Energy Commission (CEC) noted to adopt tighter appliance energy standards.

However from December 2021, "computers with high-speed networking capability, multi-screen notebooks, notebooks with cyclical behavior, and monitors with high refresh rates" will be covered by the rules" under tier 2 requirements.

That is ridiculous.

What's high speed?

10mbps was high speed once, then it got obsolete. Now 1Gbps is standard, and while it's not lightning fast, it can be considered fast.

10Gbps ethernet is becoming bog standard in our servers, and they'll trickle down to consumers systems then.

What's next? MIMO wireless adapters?

if you ask the ISP it's 10 Mbit/s
