I tend to treat most things he says with caution. He's a Google-monster.
The code for the Puma 6 SoC would be written by Intel, so one broken should be all broken running that blob. It'll be delivered as a binary blob to VM et al.
I'm not sure what the data path is on the Puma SoC, I presume specialist hardware handles most of the packet transport rather than relying on CPU. The Atom isn't exactly abundant with power, could just have better things to do.
