I'd really like them to take one or two of those 400G ports and split them into internal port splitters to generate a 32x10/25g switch with 400g uplinks for $2k. They do a 8x50G one (crs812_ddq) Ultimately this is a Marvell 98dx7335 with a mikrotik management interface on the top. Most switches you tend to encounter use Broadcom chipsets rather than Marvell. Setting aside what features routeros exposes, This chip seems to be somewhere between a Trident 3 and Trident 4 in capability (hardware support for things like evpn/vxlan, q-in-q, mpls, macsec etc) Last mikrotik switch I tried only supported PTP Transparent clock, this chip does do boundary clock, but I don't think it's implemented through the linux layer let alone exposed via the RouterOS layer. I think the chip is mainly aimed at service providers, which fits in well with mikrotik's main customer base (ISPs)
