It's more complex than that. TCAMs are very expensive (silicon area wise - they use 13 transistors per bit cell) and it's not possible to store entire routing tables in them. Also more IPv6 addresses are present which consume 4x more space than IPv4. All this leads to different scenarios i.e algorithmic TCAMs.
