> In the case of OpenBSD itself, the popularity of the PCEngines APU2 has definitely provided motivation for improving the performance of PF. And Linux' packet processing now pushes 100Gig and beyond, which is not motivated by low-end hardware but certainly helps it. :-) > But the reason the APU2 is still around is because neither Intel nor AMD offer modern chips with a maximum TDP as low as the AMD G series. You can get Alder Lake-N at 6 W TDP, which is the same as on AMD GX-412TC (the CPU used on the APU2).
