What's minimum Intel Xeon E3 v3/4 CPU (or pentium for that mater) that has AES-NI that I should be looking for to handle 100Mbit/100Mbit WAN + VPN and in the future security/thread monitoring too.
I'm under the impression even the E3-1220 v3 is over kill.
What about a non-E3 pentium or celeron type CPU? Do they have AES-NI?
I'd like to keep power as low as possible, but feeling the burn buying the last appliance 8mo ago and needing to replace it 100% sucks so I'm somewhat leaning toward one of the cheaper SuperMicro motherboards I got, thus the e3/4 generation.
What about the new ITX SOCs from intel? When are they coming out?
