    I've seen reports of single-stream IPS throughput of 105mbps using a Rangeley Atom CPU. 
    Multiple users should be able to achieve higher peak throughput.

    If you want better than that, look at a fast Haswell or Broadwell i3 or i5, and note idle system power should still be under 30 watts.

    Good NICs (Intel or Broadcom) are also critical.

    1. how many users?

    2. which features will be enabled (IPS, Web Filter, A/V, SMTP, ...)?

    IMO the core security of UTM is ips, web filter with dual scan a/v, ips/ application visibility and atp.  for 150/150 you are going to need more cpu.  I would suggest no less than a haswell DC celey 2.5 ghz or faster.
