I'm familiar with the hardware sizing guide, and I've done a few benchmarks myself, but I'm wondering if a MHz is a MHz when it comes to pf performance, or do things like IPC and cache sizes matter? What about RAM frequencies and latency?
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? db --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
