Where does the 270 gbit/s networking figure come from? Is it the aggregate bandwidth from the pcie slots on the mac pro, which could support nics at that speeds (and above according to my quick maths#), but there is not really any driver support for modern Intel or Mellanox/Nvidia NICs as far as I can tell.
My use case would be hooking up a device which spews out sensor data at 100 gbit/s over qsfp28 ethernet as directly to a GPU as possible. The new mac mini has the GPU power, but there's no way to get the data into it.

# 2x Gen4x16 + 4x Gen3x8 = 2 * 31.508 GB/s + 4 * 7.877 GB/s ≈ 90 GB/s = 720 gbit/s
