Understanding hardware differences

Hello everyone,

I have some experience in understanding what type of services I can implement on server or client machines depending on the capacity of the RAM memory or the CPE used (Windows/Linux/Database/etc scope).

But I’m having a bit of difficulty with the Mikrotik hardware because I can’t appreciate the technical differences (essentially CPU) between a certain type of ethernet router model compared to another.

For example, to implement services like Hotspot or CAPsMAN, what starting hardware resources should I consider?

Thank you.

M.
