Performance of Atom/i3/i5 ?

x-cimo
Anyone tested the troughput of thoses cpus?

I am moving to a 50Mbps connection, which my current setup won't support.

Any experiance which such Processor at such speed?

This is a home setup, so few users. But Heavy Bittorrent, VPN  traffic.

One advantage of i5 over i3 is it support a new AES instruction set (for SSL) feature. Called: AES-IN, but i'm not sure if current kernel will support that

    Hi, 50mbps would probably be pushing an Atom very hard, for the IPS, and worse if you're doing HTTP Anti-Virus. I don't think I can get over about 30mbps through my single-core Atom n270 with the IPS enabled, but it's been awhile since I tried. A dual-core Atom would help though, as Snort can run multiple threads.
    I'd probably go with a low-power i3 or a 45w AMD CPU though, if I were building something today.

    cybermuz, you should consider a PortScan exception for your p2p pc's.

    I've considred setting up an exception, but decided against it. If I got a notification without having had done any transfers, I would know something is wrong. I'd rather exercise caution over convenience ya know.
