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?

  • not much of a difference between i-3 and i-5..QC would actually hurt him..yes he may save a little power due to the i-5 never getting properly clocked up but he'd be better with a 3.0 ghz or faster i-3 until the new kernel makes it into the utm system.
