That was 100G Omni-Path (not Ethernet compatible) which has been subsequently canceled, I guess due to lack of demand. Intel's 100G Ethernet NICs were years behind other vendors due to the 10 nm fiasco.

Intel had always said they were behind because they wanted to be. In other words, they didn't think 100G was on the rise. I tend to believe them since nic asics are much easier to make than an x86 processor.

It's a good tenant of personal responsibility to say that one's owns actions are the result of one's own choices.

So by that logic, I suppose they wanted to be? :-)
