Amazon announced they were doing network processing in hardware at Re:work last week [1]. Custom silicon, rather than the FPGA or ASICS they were using when they started the project in 2012. They tout not only the freed CPU resources, but lower latencies and increased security of isolating the networking from the CPUs running hosted VMs. https://youtu.be/AyOAjFNPAbA?t=1822 https://youtu.be/AyOAjFNPAbA?t=1822
