1gige linerate:               1,9mpps
10gige linerate:      19mpps

and intel is proud to achieve 1,6mpps at 2 10gige cards?
I have seen higher values at pc hardware - but still not compareable to 
asics.

If you're going to specify line rate pps, please get the figures right.
Line rate on GigE with minimum packet size (84 bytes including Ethernet
headers, FCS, 8 byte preamble and 12 byte IFG) is:

1,000,000,000 / (84 * 8) = 1.488 Mpps
