claiming 2.5gbps LAN but ethernet speed only show 1000Mb/s? Ubuntu 20.04, MSI motherboard

0

I am having a MSI Z590 PRO WIFI motherboard which claims to have 2.5Gbps LAN. However, when I connect to ethernet cable (cat8). I only have 1000Mbs. Has anyone seen this mismatch before? Any help is appreciated!

Here is some input/output

lspci -knn | grep Eth -A3
