What exactly is that benchmark testing? Seems like a lot of cores to handle just 800 Gb/s; that is only ~12.5 Gb/s per core. Even with their ~19% headroom that is still only ~15 Gb/s per core. You can terminate encrypted transport multiple times faster than that and unencrypted transport 10x faster than that comfortably in software on regular cores.
