From the article: “full 10 Gbps throughput full-duplex while supporting 10,000 sessions”
Doesn’t sound too impressive if you consider that Netflix has been doing 10-40Gbps with 10,000-40,000 sessions on commodity hardware [1] and is already doing 100Gbps as well [2].

- spockz 8y agoWhat about cloud providers like google? They need high performance throughput in their nics in combination with security. It sounds like that benefits from custom chip design.

- filam 8y agoYou need to also compare the cost and power consumption of the chips. I also imagine the use of high-level synthesis impacted performance.
