LK Bhupathi, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Aquantia:
“We listened to feedback from the gaming community – they want easy
access to high-performance Multi-Gig Ethernet hardware at
competitive price points. Amazon provides us with the
customer-focused approach that gamers and PC enthusiasts demand.
Aquantia decided to kick off our Amazon presence with a special
gaming edition of our 10G AQtion Ethernet Adapter combined with the
beta version of Aquantia’s prioritization software so users can
tightly control latency and lag.”
According to Jon Peddie Research’s most recent worldwide report
on prebuilt and DIY gaming focused PCs – including upgrades and
accessories – the market exceeded $30 billion for the first time in
2017.1 At the same time sales of PC games made up 28% of the
overall global games market value of $116 billion.2 Selecting
Amazon to reach this potentially lucrative market in North America
was a simple choice. Amazon is responsible for 44% of all US
e-commerce sales – or about 4% of all US retail sales. The most
sales on Amazon – more than $8 billion – are created through the
company’s consumer electronics division, which includes PCs and
computer components.3
The combination of the gamer edition AQN-107 with the new
Aquantia software will allow gamers to prioritize gameplay over
other LAN activity. The reduction in lag and latency provides the
reaction time advantage which can mean the difference between
living on to play more and a “Game Over” situation. Twitch
streamers, in particular, will benefit from dynamically controlling
both the upload and download speeds through the prioritization
interface.
About the Gamer Edition AQtion AQN-107
The Gamer Edition AQtion AQN-107 in classic black supports
10GBASE-T Ethernet in compliance with the IEEE 802.3an standard. It
is also backward compatible with legacy cabling and Ethernet
standards and supports 5GBASE-T and 2.5GBASE-T Ethernet per the
IEEE 802.3bz standard. By supporting PCI Express x4 with a single
RJ45 port, AQtion NICs can easily upgrade most existing tower PCs,
supplanting outdated Gigabit Ethernet. It also fully utilizes the
bandwidth capabilities of the latest CPUs and GPUs. Go here to
