I want to put together a pfsense system for my home router. However, I plan to run PIA VPN which places more demand on the cpu.
Because of the encryption demands that the VPN will place on it, I really want to go with something that has AES capability. That rules out easy choices like j1900.
So what I'm really looking for is some guidance since this is a less familiar part of the market for me. Is it likely that the new Celeron 3955U's will be available as retail or embedded mini boards? Is it worth waiting and possibly spending more money for this kind of application? Will the N3150 easily handle a residential application? I know that AMD has lots of chips that AES capability but, the performance/watt is not nearly as ideal as these low power intel solutions. Am I wrong about the AMDs?
