I worked on a board (a switch, not a router) with a chip that could saturate all 10 of its GigE ports all day long if you stayed in the fabric. But if you had to pass anything over to the built-in single-core 250 MHz CPU, you were in for a bad time. (Thankfully it also had pins for wiring up your own external CPU.)
