Spot on.

You can stream video with basically nginx serving static files, you just need a 10G network card with TSO.

the CPU power needed is an order of magnitude lower than what you need to run full stack server side frameworks.

Just make sure the content fits in your page cache (RAM is cheap), and you will fill the pipe.

In the upcoming month, you will be able to do this with an ARM SOC sitting on a 10cm^2 board, for 5W TDP.
