Yeah I got excited about the MachiattoBin when I first saw it - it's possibly the first non-x86 SOHO router that can actually do 14MPPS needed for 10G in the home.
BUT The Copper ethernet situation is problematic, the original design shares the PCI Bus with the SFP Slots to provide copper 10G option. however Copper 10G is relatively shite unless you are lucky enough to have Cat6a/Cat7 run everywhere. What I really would like to see is the Aquantia 407 Silicon paired with Dual SFP+ and a Beefy enough SoC to do L3 14MPps. The Aquantia stuff is the 10GBase-X (802.3bz) auto rate negotiation stuff which should finally bring faster than 1G networks to the home (and is pretty much a must for the Wireless AX stuff). I would really like to test the SoC in the Machiatto to see how and if it can actually acheive 10G packet rates as it touts. It may be a bunch of 'Fastpath' offload stuff which isn't actually very useful tbh.
