Huh. Google mentioned that it's making its own NICs at Next, on March 9th, and I've seen no mention of this in news/editorials/comentary.pic.twitter.com/IKrgRZQMRx
There's also been 0 impact on the market cap of NIC vendors that sell to datacenters. Do ppl think it's not a big deal or did no one notice?pic.twitter.com/fMraHoMQ7u

But are Google replacing mellanox cards or commodity stuff? My assumption was that mellanox were mainly hft/hpc crowd.

I would be surprised if any major cloud vendor wasn't using a NIC with similar capabilities as the default for standard SKUs.

It was known that they run custom switches (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wired.com/2015/06/google-reveals-secret-gear-connects-online-empire/amp/ …), and AWS is known to run custom NICs, so it's not terribly surprising.

I think it was mostly obvious to those in the NIC industry when they bought the Myricom IP+team a few years back

Amazon and Microsoft have said the same of their clouds... Perhaps people already assumed google was doing that.
