Sophos hardware: Celeron 1037U vs Atom 2550

m@x
Hello everyone. I am building a UTM for my home. I am looking at motherboards with 6 NICs (need for my home lab). The selection is limited to Celeron 1037U, Atom 2550 and Atom D525 processors. Please advice which option will yield better performance. IPS and AV will be on, but only for the WAN interface.

Celeron 1037U:
1.8GHz / 2 Cores / 2 Threads / 2MB Cache

Atom 2550:
1.86Ghz / 2 Cores / 4 Threads / 1MB Cache

Comparison chart:

Thanks!

    Hi,

    clock-for-clock, Haswell will be 5-10% faster than Ivy Bridge.

    However, Haswell is also much more power efficient (system power under 30W idle, even with non-mobile CPUs), and higher clocks are available.

    If you need to get the Ivy Bridge because it has more NICs, fine, but otherwise I'd go with Haswell for the power savings alone.
