I currently have an Intel i5 M520 based computer running as a linux based router + + Asterisk box + backup server file server [ rsnapshot and AES encrypted disk ]. From a CPU point of view I'm sure its overkill as the load sits at < 0.1 - but the box is old, noisy and has a dodgy BIOS and I want to replace it.
I have an unused ASUS RT-AC68U router with a BCM4708 CPU which, along with an external hard drive should be able to largely fill the same role and replace my old Belkin Access Point, but I'm unsure what the performance of this router will be.
Being that the BCM4708 and X86 architectures are entirely different, I don't appear to be able to use CPUBoss or CPUBenchmark websites - is there any way to get a broad-strokes comparison of the CPU performance of each system, short of actually configuring the ASUS router ?
Had to use a broadwell version of your chip but compared it to a Apple A5X which is comparable to the chip your interested in here: https://versus.com/en/apple-a9-vs-intel-core-i5-2537m-vs-apple-a5x-vs-intel-core-m-5y10 disregard the others :-)
