Well, the N9k is largely merchant silicon (remember when Cisco said that 
was bad? It's good now apparently...) whereas the 68/6500 and N7k are 
Cisco ASICs (EARL7/8). From what I've seen - though I don't claim 
expertise - the merchant devices tend to have tiny tables by comparison.

Certainly some of the N9k and other bcm-based platforms have too-low 
numbers of adjacencies, sub-/64 v6 routes and similar, for me to feel 
comfortable with.
