There were/are some performance implication of pfSense/OPNSense on these boards specifically. It seems like this has improved significantly in FreeBSD 12+. https://teklager.se/en/knowledge-base/apu2-1-gigabit-throughput-pfsense/ https://teklager.se/en/knowledge-base/apu2-1-gigabit-through... > APU2, APU3 and APU4 motherboards have four 1Ghz CPU cores, pfSense by default uses only 1 core per connection. This limitation still exists, however, a single-core performance has considerably improved. I can saturate 1GB/s with no problem OoB on Debian/OpenWRT on APU2/3/4, ymmv
