Not trying to be smart or pedantic: modern routers are built out of lots of
"ASICs". I imagine the forwarding element design is the differentiator:
1. Fixed pipeline: EARL family
2. Progammable pipeline: UADP family
3. Run-to-completion: "Silicon One" family
Not an exhaustive list, lots of other examples etc...
I'm thinking that this is where we can draw a convergence, and conclusion.
An NPU isn't really just a single chip, but a multitude of chips
(ASIC's, FPGA's, DDR, GDDR, HMC, HBM, TCAM, e.t.c.) all combining
together to form a homogenous unit that is fit for purpose.
The successful vendors will be those who can make the near-perfect
combination of each individual part, to form the ideal NPU.
