Which CPU works better AMD 8-Core or the Intel I3?

I am planning on building a small cheap box to house my new Sophos UTM home. Currently I have it on a laptop with a core2duo however with IDS turned on I can barely download at 35 Mbit/s and I have a 150 Mbit/s connection.
So I am thinking o building a PC that would allow the IDS to work at 150 Mbit/s.

That being said, which CPU is better suited for that task?

Hi,

1. please don't double-post (I deleted your other, identical, thread).

2. if you only have a couple users, a CPU with faster cores is better than a CPU with lots of slower cores.

Get the fastest Haswell i3 available.
