At this point, I don't feel that 'show translation' is a useful indicator of actual transcoding performance. It's OK for relative comparisons but utterly useless if you need the figures for sizing purposes.

Just to give you another (relative) comparison... This is from a VIA processor running at 533MHz, (64KB Cache) asterisk compiled as i586 as it's missing some of the nicer MMX instructions:

This board runs very well with a TDM400P card in it.

On another Via processor, this time a C3 running at 1GHz with 128KB cache:

I'm finding these mini ATX boards with VIA processes to be generally very good for small-office applications. Low power, fanless, boot from flash, etc. and seem to just soak up everything thrown at them - until you need to do an excessive amount of transcoding, but thats virtually non-existent in my applications. (Although I'm using G726 on some IAX trunks over office ADSL lines here in the UK. (outgoing b/w typically 256Kbps on older installations, just over 400 on ADSL-MAX installations. In theory we can have up to (just over) 800Kbps on the business-class -MAX installations, but very few people are prepared to pay for it!!!
