I spent my time at Rivet Networks asking lots of questions about the hardware and software that makes up Killer’s current products, the team’s success in getting motherboard and laptop design wins, and how the Killer products have changed since the days of the original Killer NIC. As of this month, though, he’s made his way back to the Killer team to help with marketing and business development. In late 2007, he left Bigfoot for AMD, where he ran a number of marketing and sales teams. He served as the company’s vice-president of marketing and sales. Like Cubbage, Grim is one of the founders of Bigfoot Networks. He’s also responsible for taking Killer independent again with Rivet Networks. Cubbage is one of the co-founders of Bigfoot Networks, and he’s been with the Killer Networking team from the beginning, through Qualcomm’s purchase of Bigfoot in 2011 and during the team’s time as part of the Big Q. While I was there, I got a chance to pick the brains of Killer CEO Mike Cubbage and Chief Marketing Officer Bob Grim. Now that a good number of gaming-focused Z170-based boards and laptops include Gigabit Ethernet (and wireless networking) powered by Killer, it’s the perfect time to do some fresh testing.Ī few weeks ago, I visited the Killer Networking folks at Rivet Networks. It’s been just over eight years since we first took an in-depth look at a Killer NIC. The folks behind the Killer Networking products first burst on to the scene trying to change that, and they’re still at it. We’ve had it for a long time, and for the most part, it just works. Onboard Gigabit Ethernet: we don’t think about it too much.
