Most likely yes. But I think this part is not public by Google.
(Correct me if I am wrong)

Yes if the user can have a emulated gVNIC device or real HW that supports
gVNIC interface.

I don't think it's good to compare these two. It's just two virtual interface,
I don't see strong analysis to prove which one is better.
Like if you use Google cloud, you use gVNIC. Use other cloud that uses virtio,
choose virtio.

If we want to leave such description, I agree with Ferruh that we need to give
some evidence.
But in my understanding, they are just two similar virtual interfaces. One has
public standard, one is google-specific. Users need to use one of them when they
choose to use one cloud service.
