![]() I used a plain Dell USB-C Gigabit Ethernet adapter as Realtek representative to make sure no other Hub "features" interfere with the test. I compared it to the Apple Thunderbolt 2 GbE Adapter (Broadcom BCM5701) together with the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter to connect it to my 16" MBP. When copying data to or from a NAS or otherwise pushing high amount of traffic through it, CPU load goes up pretty high (for just transferring data with about 115MB/s). ![]() Well, besides that this chip is as low-end as you can go, it also causes high CPU usage on macOS (haven't tested on other OS yet). I just did some testing and found out that (probably) all USB-C hubs on the market that come with an Ethernet port use the Realtek RTL8153 network chip.
