The new hardware has new features that offload some of the more intensive tasks to specialty sections of the CPU which greatly enhances performance. To give an example. I have a client that had a Lynnfield I-7 quad core HT machine with 8 gigs of ram for his network of 50 machines one mail server and a webserver serving 4 different domain websites. This machine rarely went above a load factor of 1 our of 8....even during nightly log rotation and database runs.
We recently installed a SG210. This is a dual core Celeron Haswell with 8 gigs of ram. The statistics are nearly the same..maybe just a bit lower. The SG210 shouldn't have any issues with v10...that's just a guess but i'm judging by the resource usage of previous versions. Right now the new Haswell cores are blazing fast in UTM. It will be interesting to see what he new 1xx series of appliances is capable of...[:)]
