Well, I had once an ARM based computer and I like the architecture - but th=
ere isn't a
strict prefrence (except that I would also prefere MIPS over Intel as I pre=
ferred Alpha
over Intel in the past as I did with a DECstation (MIPS driven) over Intel =
based systems).
Looking around, I find a lot of very small ARM vased SoCs with a very low p=
ower
consumption but with still enough performance. I have no clue how a 4-core =
ARM with 1.2
GHz would compete against a MIPS based equivalent.
I'm not bound to ARM. MIPS is also all right, as long as some of my require=
ments/wished
are met. The "router" is just a synonyme for a bunch of aspects I have in m=
ind when
thinking of low power SoCs.
if the same CPU performance and low-power consumption is met as a 4-core WA=
NDBOARD does,
then I'm fine with other architectures. But I'd like to have FreeBSD rather=
than Linux
and this is what I'm concerned about.

I did not realise that the throughput is that low, theoretically.

Thank you very much.=20
