Gigabyte's Killer E2400 Ethernet Controller: A Boost to Network Performance

In recent years, internet traffic has seen a significant surge, accompanied by larger data packets. This has led to a pressing need for enhanced network performance. Gigabyte Technology, a well-known motherboard manufacturer, has partnered with Rivet Networks to offer the Killer E2400 Ethernet controller on its Z170X- Gaming 7, Z170X-Gaming GT, and Z170X-Gaming G1 motherboards.

The Killer E2400 is an intelligent Gigabit Ethernet controller that can be paired with another chip using Killer DoubleShot Pro technology, or with the Killer Wireless-AC 2×2 Wi-Fi 802.11ac solution, which offers up to 2.867Gb/s maximum bandwidth and MU-MIMO tech using DoubleShot-X3 Pro. This allows users to set up to six priority levels for different types of applications.

The controller is designed to provide better performance in network-intensive applications such as online gaming and HD video streaming. It features Visual Bandwidth Control, which helps optimize performance by adjusting priorities and setting bandwidth limits, ensuring that low-priority traffic does not affect multimedia applications or favorite websites.

Additionally, the Killer E2400 comes equipped with Lag and Latency Reduction technology, designed to improve online gaming and HD video performance. The Advanced Stream Detect 2.0 feature can automatically classify and prioritize network traffic for online games, HD video, and specific websites, ensuring a smoother experience with fewer interruptions.

According to Rivet Networks, the Killer E2400 provides up to 50% lower latency compared to competing network processors when running one application, and is up to 10 times faster when multitasking. This enhanced performance engine offloads all tasks associated with protocol processing from the central processing unit, enabling a range of new features.

Gigabyte Technology and MicroStar International will be the first companies to use this new chip, which promises to improve network-related performance in video games, multimedia, and bandwidth-demanding applications. With its improved functionality and enhanced performance, the Killer E2400 Ethernet controller is an excellent choice for those seeking a seamless online experience.
