[ASK] RB450G vs Intel ATOM D945GCLF2(dual core)

[winet]

does anyone have ever tested them? which one perform better? we already know that theoretically intel atom D945GCLF2 have higher clock-speed, dual core, and faster RAM.

Before using a 450G, I had a N330 dual core Atom with 4 NICs… There is no possible comparison, Atom is way faster (I can’t believe I say that from an Atom CPU…) and can do much more than a routerboard without any hardware or software limit.

BUT, that’s comparing oranges with apples, RB is 6W, doesn’t support >1500 MTU, has hardware switching capabilities, uses routerOS (pros & cons) etc.

List your needs, your skills, your environnement, and do the maths

I do hope they will bring affordable dual-core or even quad-core solution to the sub USD 100 routerboard. finger crossed Single-core really pushed our limits to filter, nat, mangle, and queue!

Ahem, seeing how x86 boys are struggling with multicore and rOS doesn’t make me think of a brilliant near future.
