The Intel Ethernet Controller I350 family builds on Intels history of delivering Ethernet products with flexible design and in-box driver support. Run up to four 1 Gb ports with enhanced powersaving and market-leading flexible I/O virtualization including VMDq and SR-IOV. Intels software drivers and support are unmatched for virtual or non-virtualized environments. The I350 supports the IEEE 802.3 az EEE standard so that during periods of low network activity, EEE reduces the power consumption of an Ethernet connection by negotiating with the switch port to transition to a low power idle (LPI) state. This reduces power to approximately 50% of its normal operating powersaving power on both the network and the switch ports.

When increased traffic is detected, the controller and the switch quickly come back to full power to handle the increased traffic. EEE is supported for both 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX.
