But for 7k you can get an older design with 4x 10Gbps Ethernet. It's used at Stanford and Cambridge for... High speed network processing research.
High speed trading firms almost universally use FPGAs. You can't go faster without custom silicon. But you can sure as shit max out as many DDR and network interfaces as you can physically attach.
