It's not about that. FPGAs behind engineering solution to digest packets at big PPS behind interface is what it does.
You know, Cisco's IOS XR is built on Linux, but all the real parts are behind their private kernel modules running on ASICs and FPGAs, traffic doesn't even touches the TCP/IP stack of the OS. Cisco ASAs have Celeron/Atom CPUs which obviously couldn't hold the specified loads.
