Intel i225-V «Foxville»
Intel is preparing a next-generation network controller called the i225-V "Foxville", which should be the first 2.5 Gbps controller for mainstream consumer products. Note that 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet has the same requirements for Cat5E and Cat6 network cables as 1 Gigabit Ethernet.
General
- Integrated MAC / PHY supporting 10BASE-Te, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T and 2500BASE-T 802.3 specifications
- IEEE 802.3u auto-negotiation conformance
- Carrier extension support (half duplex)
- Half duplex operation at 10BASE-Te and 100BASE-TX
- Automatic polarity correction
- Network proxy / ARP offload
- MDC / MDIO management interface
- Smart speed operation for automatic speed reduction on faulty cable plants
- Power optimizer support
- Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (SIPP)
Interconnects
- 1 lane PCIe Gen 2 v3.1 interface for active state operation
- SMBus interface to Intel® vPro engine at low system power state
- Integrated MDI termination resistors reducing BOM costs
