This just made me question the notion that all internet traffic is just 1.8Pbps (200 TB per second). Maybe that’s just the non-porn traffic.

Right, I should probably reword it but I'll leave my original comment up.
Point is that the that's there's no practical way to get all of the internet into that chip. This is a synthetic test and there is no way to collect all of the world's internet traffic with a chip like this, which is what I believe the title is provoking.
It's kind of like saying a 12" pipe transferred all of Niagara Fall's water, when it really just shot out a gallon of water at supersonic speeds for a split second.
The title really should say something like: "A single chip has managed to transfer data at a rate equivalent to the entire internet's traffic in a single second"

TLDR: it didn’t transfer the entire internet, it actually transferred 1.84 petabits in a synthetic test, which is just 230 TBs.
