Probably not a bad idea for to start pricing out my upgrade hardwareI know I did OpenVPN speed testing with the APU2C4 before I sold it, but I just can't find the data.
Here is the comparative OpenSSL benchmark testing between the APU2C4 and the i3-7100 though.
First the PcEngines APU2C4:
Code:[2.3.1-RELEASE][[email protected]]/root: openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-ecb You have chosen to measure elapsed time instead of user CPU time. Doing aes-128-ecb for 3s on 16 size blocks: 23413097 aes-128-ecb's in 3.00s Doing aes-128-ecb for 3s on 64 size blocks: 18438085 aes-128-ecb's in 3.00s Doing aes-128-ecb for 3s on 256 size blocks: 7473361 aes-128-ecb's in 3.00s Doing aes-128-ecb for 3s on 1024 size blocks: 2115520 aes-128-ecb's in 3.01s Doing aes-128-ecb for 3s on 8192 size blocks: 279464 aes-128-ecb's in 3.00s OpenSSL 1.0.1s-freebsd 1 Mar 2016 built on: date not available options:bn(64,64) rc4(8x,int) des(idx,cisc,16,int) aes(partial) idea(int) blowfish(idx) compiler: clang The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed. type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes aes-128-ecb 124869.85k 393345.81k 637726.81k 720221.92k 763123.03k
Now the i3-7100:
Code:[2.3.3-RELEASE][[email protected]]/var/log: openssl speed -elapsed -evp aes-128-ecb You have chosen to measure elapsed time instead of user CPU time. Doing aes-128-ecb for 3s on 16 size blocks: 242729953 aes-128-ecb's in 3.00s Doing aes-128-ecb for 3s on 64 size blocks: 207367303 aes-128-ecb's in 3.01s Doing aes-128-ecb for 3s on 256 size blocks: 69510589 aes-128-ecb's in 3.00s Doing aes-128-ecb for 3s on 1024 size blocks: 17831161 aes-128-ecb's in 3.00s Doing aes-128-ecb for 3s on 8192 size blocks: 2219499 aes-128-ecb's in 3.00s OpenSSL 1.0.1s-freebsd 1 Mar 2016 built on: date not available options:bn(64,64) rc4(16x,int) des(idx,cisc,16,int) aes(partial) idea(int) blowfish(idx) compiler: clang The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed. type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes aes-128-ecb 1294559.75k 4412345.31k 5931570.26k 6086369.62k 6060711.94k
Looks like an average of about an order of magnitude improvement across the board. I should note that by the time I ran the second test, the router was already up and I didn't want to take it down, so the i3-7100 aren't necessarily reflective of a dedicated test. There may be other traffic in the background.
I'm guessing it's not going to fit a regular pcie NIC
