The rb660 could be the best device ever for one of our use cases, assuming:
The switch is in the CPU/SoC. The block diagram will look like the one of the ax³, where you have PHYs connected to the SoC and don't see the internal between "switch" and "quad-core CPU". The advertised MACsec support is a feature of the PHY (similar to how it's currently is on RB5009 and ax³ ether1).
It won't have a separate switch chip like the RB5009. And the question is whether MikroTik will be able to add hardware offload support for the switch feature of the SoC to RouterOS.
Makes sense. After doing some digging, a very likely candidate for the SoC would be IPQ9570/IPQ9574.
For an ISP a CCR device is advised with redundant PSU and higher performance
Yes, in the PDF brochure linked above the "switch chip" is listed as IPQ-9570 which is precisely a SoC with quad-core ARM Cortex-A73.
Duh! I need more coffee this morning.
I assume the SFP+ port will not be wired to the internal switch then, according to the IPQ957x datasheet the internal switch only supports 4 x 2.5 GE + 5 GE + 10 GE.
Looking forward to testing this device IRL.
Edit: So it looks like the rb660 will essentially be using the same architecture as the Alta Labs Route10. We briefly looked at that device but decided to move on as it has no out of band management capabilities. The Alta Labs Route10 seems to have some decent capabilities when it comes to routing, glad to see Mikrotik is going after that segment.
My GPON provider (which provides ONT as well ... and is not the same as ISP) terminated my FO with SC APC plug which then plugs directly into ONT's receptacle. So the adapter patch cord shown in post I'm replying to wouldn't work ... either I'd have to make GPON provider to replace plug with SC UPC one ... or I'd have to get an SC APC/APC adapter (and then use the suggested patch cord).
no cap be worked on?
Looking at the half empty glass? 
of course these are not the only products being worked on, I would say “cAP be” is much closer than anything seen in the MWC
Yes, of course you need a SC/APC-SC/APC coupler if the connection terminated with a connector. In some cases ISP install a connector box. In general, switching from SC/APC to SC/UPC is a quite simple thing 
Meanwhile I found a simpler solution
It’s very likely the rb660 will yield better routing performance then the lower end ccr’s for a fraction of the power (thinking about the ccr2004 here). Of course, no redundant psu’s, only 1 sfp, yada yada, but I can see it be a hit for very specific use cases, such as soho/smb… and of course, and most likely its #1 real-life use case in the end => home labs.
will map ax have ethernet over usb functionality or is usb only for power?
Sucks that the supply issues with RAM/NAND have forced products to go back to using DDR3/3L and limit capability. I’m only assuming that’s the reason (maybe also cost) behind this new RB660 using DDR3 vs DDR4, as well as why just 3GB vs a number like 4GB or 8GB for better container support.
Not saying it’s a useless product, just commenting on some artifical limitations.
I’m very interested in the A42GO-HbeP and the GPON capabilities it has.
IMO , it would be better if it had a PoE in port so that It could be powered using using an ethernet cable. And it might of been nice if it had a 10-Gig ethernet port or sfp+ port and a PoE out port and a 24-Volt power jack.
However - - - I am looking to soon purchase about 800 GPON routers. This might fit the bill and might not - when it is available to order , think I will get some and test them out.

What do people normally connect it to? USB mobile dongle? StarLink? Mobile hotspot? Hotel Wi-Fi?
Where’s my hap be3, I’ve been waiting long enough 
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
nRAY GEN2, with 802.11ad (2012 tech) wow, I’m impressed. GEN2!
1G SFP with 2.5G support? what is this? or SFP+ with 2.5G support? if it is simple SFP, how could support 2.5G?
As usual, mikrotik’s new products edge tomorow tech!
