It's a really stupid way to describe thin clients, anyway. Assuming that's what this is. I have no idea why a thin client would need a 2.5Gbps NIC.

I know bandwidth isn't latency but for a thin client having a rock solid network connection to the virtual desktop server is pretty important for the user interface. I'm guessing pushing video and animations can require pretty high data rates, too.
