ARM or SPARC ?
Hi all I need best performance processor, I used firewall and rountig/load-balancing. I look models ARM and SPARC, ARM it's the best SPARC. The machin turned OpenBSD 4.9. Tank you for help Cordialy
Re: ARM or SPARC ?
Kinda naive question: either could be more than enough; depends on your hard/soft/bandwith combination. Stick to i386/amd64; usually the best buck for performance ratio. Good luck!

Sparc64 is probably the best support non x86 architecture for openbsd at this time.

Re: ARM or SPARC ?
Hi, maybe arm sould be better choice, but it is realy dependant to the other hardware specs, your needs. a fast arm with slow memory buffer, sould be a bad choice a mediam sparc with fast memory buffer, sould be a good one ship is not the primary need, but the board all its parts is more important if you need performance. A fast processor on bad board will do permanently nop(No operation) instruction so it is a bad choice for performances.

The machin turned OpenBSD 4.9. OpenBSD on the current supported ARM systems are not at all fast on the network. You'll get somewhere in the region of 30-50Mb/s of 1500-byte packets out of OpenBSD/armish before running out of CPU. There's a work-in-progress BeagleBoard port, I have no idea what speed you might expect from that. SPARC - do you mean the older 32-bit systems or sparc64 / UltraSPARC? I haven't tested recently but 400MHz+ sparc64 systems should be ok with 100Mb+.
