Will there be a SG-3200?

keyser

With the 3100 long gone and 32bit platforms likewise, will there ever be a SG-3200?

A low power arm based device that will handle Gbit, and have 3 discrete NICs - preferable one being a dual identify (RJ45/SFP) interface.
I know it will be a fierce competitor the 4100, but really, there should be a good slot in the market for such a device.

The 2100 is nearly exactly what you describe there. It does have 4 of its ports in a switch but they can be configured as discrete ports as needed.

That said, we are always working on new hardware models, if you are looking for something new/different then a new model is usually right around the corner.

@jimp Hi Jimp

I have lots of 2100’s under my wing, but I don’t quite agree with your statement. I LOVE the 2100 because it fills a great spot in small offices and homes with up to 300/300mbit.
But it is not close to being able to handle Gbit, and it does not have 3 discrete NICs so you can have proper gbit throughput across 3 interfaces.

Maybe one that fully supports and utilizes the AVX-512 instruction sets, and the registers. Push the limits of SMID assembly code. Yeah not just for the cryptography usage. 512 bit registers with epic new traffic shaping. ZMM, YMM. Of course the CPU would have to support it when you do CPUID on it.

@jimp I love my 2100

I would also love to see a "3200" at a price point around US $449

@luckman212 or 8gb ram in it lets call it the new SG-2105 (doesn't exist) with the new Raspberry pi 5 CPU on it .... The 2100 has the same CPU at my raspberry pi 3 right now just two of them.
