The BCM2712 in the Pi5 has enough PCIe lanes, but even on CM5, only 1 usable. So if I would test or even really use 10Gbit ether, it is quite simple, there are enough RK3588 boards with PCIe3.0 x 4 lanes, that would not throttle. But those boards also have 2x 2.5Gbps ports, which can still use the same cabling as for 1Gbps. So I think that would be an easy decision if you want a cost-effective network speed upgrade.Has anyone tried one of those m.2 format 10 gbps Ethernet adapters in a Pi 5? According to Wikipedia a single PCIe 3.0 lane has a throughput rate of 0.986 GB/s. By my calculation that is equivalent to 7.888 gbps which is a bit shy of 10. Even so, it might work well enough.
I have bought a Rock3a (RK3568) for testing bootloader/SATA and it has PCIe3.0 x 2 lanes although that M.2 M-key connector has a quite stupid orientation (outwards). But about 1400MByte/s for a Samsung 970 EVO+ ('ducktaped').
