On proper routers, packets forwarded will not be a concern to the CPU :-)

With "5x 10Gbps", an ASR9001 would be a perfect match, but that's a
platform Cisco no longer wants to sell.  The successors (ASR9901 etc)
are much bigger (100G ports) and just so expensive.

So maybe one of these Catalyst 8000 would indeed be an option, if you
do not intend to connect to a big IXP.

Or go Juniper and look for an MX204.
