I find it interesting that the X2 chip they are using as Tofino's successor, made by Xsight. One of the investors of Xsight is Intel Capital. So seems Intel had a hedge against themselves.

Maybe that was a reason to kill Tofino?
Ha, no definitely not. Intel Capital invests in lots of things, and doesn't throw its weight around like that at all.
Iirc Bryan mentioned that Intel capital also invested in Oxide itself, despite the fact that they’re using AMD cpus.
