What would describe the special sause that warranted a new SOC? If this thing is marketed as 'Network Processor' then I suppose we can actually use it, esp. if we're going to see this more, like the MID thing -- that lived for a while over multiple uarchs.
Note that for the big cores we added the NNPI thing, which was for Neural Network Processing something.
