Putting encryption and the various pfsense packages aside, can anybody
tell me (based on theory and/or experience) what kind of comparative
routing throughput I could expect to see from say an Athlon X2, Athlon
II X2, Phenom 2, Atom D510, Pentium D, Celeron D, Core Duo, Core 2
Duo, Pentium G6950 and a Core i7, all dual-core and controlling for
NIC and core clock differences?
They are not comparable, a Geode 500Mhz is good for about 70, a 500Mhz
PIII was good for about 250, a intel D510 is good for about 400, a C2D
(2.13) should be able to do 600-800 depending on motherboard.
I now have Core i3 3.2Ghz firewalls, clockspeed rules, not in the
absolute sense, but prefer clockspeed over cores. I have no idea how
fast these go yet. It has just 6 gig ports so I really don't know what
the fastest it can do is. It should easily do gigabit wirespeed.
If you can choose between a higher clocked dual core or a lower clocked
quad. Take the higher clocked dual core.

Seth
