10GBASE-ZR question

this may be on the extreme end, but does anyone know of a NIC that supports...or at least is known to work with...a 10GBASE-ZR SFP+ module? Or, is the intent of 10GBASE-ZR strictly for long distance fiber communication between switches? thanks

Intel Q1 2015 earnings, still losing ~1B per Quarter from Mobile

Unlikely. the whole point of celeron is to offer up the i3/5/7 parts that weren't 100% functional. I guess a pentium is a higher featured celeron, which has value too depending on how good yields are. making bay trail class celeron and pentium parts was just a bad/confusing idea

negatory. I went to intel downloadcenter, downloaded the x540-T2 driver (actually, I think it is a comprehensive driver for all intel NICs) and nothing. No response from Supermicro.
