Tiger Lake pfSense



While most pfSense hardware feature older processors, this particular system is powered by the brand new Tiger Lake i5-1135G7 (4C / 8T up to 4.2 GHz). PassMark suggests a solid CPU mark of 10,180. Most importantly, this intriguing piece of hardware features six Intel I211 GbE controllers for optimal stability. Storage options include one mSATA SSD and a 2.5" drive. Cooling-wise, the heat sink case is on the small side (178 x 126 x 55mm) but should be fine considering the low 15W TDP. Prices start at $530.
