Any links as to where one might get these cards?

It may be that I'm just not using the proper terminology. I know that
you can get cards that have a single chip that handles 4 inputs, but the
throughput is divided across the inputs. If you purchase the card that
has one chip per input, your throughput is not degraded in this way.
