10gbps at full-size packets is 812,743pps 10,000,000,000/(1538*8) = 812,743.82

200gbps is 20x this rate, or 16,254,876pps

This is 9% higher than the 10gbps packet rate for 'line rate', 14,880,952 pps, which can be done on a single core these days.

They do indeed claim 16 254,8 kpps. They have l3hw offload - so not every packet needs to go via cpu - and 16 cores.
