A switch with just 49 ns latency? What strange magic is this?

AFAIK, all modern 10G switches support cut-through, though none have latencies anywhere near this (special purpose) device.

Re: But it's not a switch.

That's only partially true. Firstly according to the website, it's also a pretty quick L2 switch, but more importantly, it's used in places where people would usually use a switch (like the Mellanox example in the article) so it might not be a switch, but it competes against them.

I think you're doing the math wrong. It's a cut through device doing 10G/10G multiplexing. So the timing is presumably from the first bit, to the first bit where there is no queuing.
