Intel committed to the NPU market
While press around the NPU market is sparse, here is a recent round-up article from light reading: Light Reading - Networking the Telecom Industry. Basicallly the market has been access products. The largest (volume) seller in Intel's line is the Westport which is more of an edge or access speed processor. The core router stuff (the OC192 market) is dog slow. The main problem with the chips continues to be "programmability" which, thankfully IP Fabrics has partially solved. Hopefully as more people understand that the progammability problem is solvable, they will implement these programmable chips deep into the network. It needs to happen. We need a standard PC economics programmable hardware platform as far into the core of the network as possible.
