What are the benefits of using switch chips for VLANs

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Yeah - we have a CCR1016 that has no switch chips, so that would have to be ‘software’ VLAN, but its grunty enough to handle it.
What about things like RB951Gs? Do they have enough grunt to do a small number (<10) of VLANs in software?

Thanks,
