Future watch: new Ethernet standard to bring 2.5 and 5 Gbit/sec speeds to existing cabling

Sure, their Macs are doing away with Ethernet, but with USB-C having more than enough throughput a dongle would be adapted; but I'm more concerned with their routers and, especially, their Apple TV, which is still only at 100BASE-T (100mib/s).
That means 100 mebiibit per second is is 12.5 mebibytes per seconds. A 1080p video is 1920×1080 "Full HD" which is 2.07 megapixels. At a 30Hz aka 30 fps, how many colors can you apply to each pixel in High Profile? What is the results for 60fps? What is the data rates for 2160p aka 4K for videos shot on the iPhone? What overhead is there for the video? How would GigE affect buffering times over 100Mib/s?
100BASE-T is doable—which is the case I made when the 4th gen Apple TV came out and people bitched—but GigE would be optimal when 4K, even though you can still get 2160p over Full Duplex 100BASE-T when using HEVC.
Now the next flavor of the AirPort Extreme with ac wave 2, that may be useful, or Mac Pro for SAN connections... do they still do a Mac Pro?
2) Your "6-7 Mbps range for 1080p, and 16-17 Mbps for 4Kp60" is erroneous has it allowed no variance for different profiles. I didn't even think those ranges would even account for the complexity range of a say 1 second of an image with all pixels being the exact same color to another second with all pixels being a different color, which a single, basic profile.
I get my info from 10 years in the industry... what do you do?
