I don't think that the current style of CPU architecture will completely disappear. But it will likely be used as a control plane CPU, connected to much more powerful data-plane hardware, like the GPUs we use today. I am not convinced that exotic / ultra-specialized hardware will be the norm. I think there will be the usual back and forth between performance of dedicated silicon and the convenience and power of programmability. General purpose programmable silicon is likely to prevail once the dust settles.
