MSI & Gigabyte is the launch of their new E2500 network controller. Nowadays most motherboards come with either Intel LAN or Killer LAN, so what are the differences between these two chipsets?

My board has both.options as well.
@ better -- what do you consider to be better? Both connect your computer to the router and both K this just fine.
The difference is options. With the Killer you can prioritize certain applications in their allocation of bandwidth. The Intel chip has some features which are good if you're part of a (home)network or need remote access.
I personally use the Killer chip on my board.

In terms of being connected to the internet I cannot see any difference. It does the same job as the Realtek Ethernet chip on my old board.

my board has both. there is no difference as far as I can notice. the Killer does require a driver installation in order to work with windows but the provided software is quite good, helps you manage many networking tasks easily.

but yeah most people still prefer the Intel NIC and I am currently using the IntelNIC (should probably keep testing the Killer NIC to provide a better response)

I started to use Killer as I noticed that Intel takes a good 10 - 15 seconds to reconnect to the internet after I wake my Windows 10 machine up from sleep. Killer reconnects instantly. I've tried some things to make Intel faster as well, but to no avail. I'll stick with Killer for now
