By comparison, I have a net5501-70 (Geode) with a pci Intel Pro 1000 GT and Lexar Pro 1GB CF that measures 7W at the wall, but it will never route 128 Mbps. 80-100 on a good day. I also have a Supermicro X7SPA-H with and Atom D510, 2 on-board Intel GBE, 4GB of RAM and SSD, powered by a mini-box M4-ATX PSU that measures ~18-21W at the wall. With a CF card, less RAM and a better power brick you might be able to push that figure lower. These boards are rumoured to route around 300 Mbps running pfsense, but I've never run it that hard. db
