Whether you need a new Proxmox VE virtualization host, or an OPNsense/ pfSense Plus firewall for work (or the #homelab of course) this is awesome.

Disclosure: PhoenixNAP helped offset the costs of having us fly to Phoenix and use their service. We also got special access to the data center. They did not get to see this before publishing or get any editorial control.

The AMD Ryzen SERVER you have been waiting forServeTheHome2023-03-08 | ASRock Rack did it! In our ASRock Rack 1U4LW-B650/2L2T review we see why this AMD Ryzen server offers a huge gap over Intel's alternatives. Paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900 it is so far ahead of the Intel competition in terms of power and performance. Oh, and the platform supports DDR5 ECC UDIMMs. The 65W AMD Ryzen 7000 series makes an amazing server processor to compete with the Intel Xeon E/ Xeon E-2300, E3, Xeon D, and more.
Update 2023-09-03: ASRock Rack reached out to us to let us know that the 400W 80Plus Gold indeed is correct. The Platinum on the spec page was left over from the preliminary specs, but the Gold is the correct PSU.

We benchmark Intel Xeon D-2700 series QuickAssist (QAT) accelerators. We also compare it to the AMD EPYC 3000 series. Not only do we have Ice Lake D versus the EPYC 3451, but we also have hands-on numbers with 4th Gen Intel Xeon "Sapphire Rapids" QAT and Milan. Let us get deep into the performance of the latest Xeon D and next-gen Xeons.

Two utilize the Intel Core i7-1165G7 a higher-performance solution. One of those two we recommend. One uses the Intel N6005 and worked, but we have a different recommendation on. We typically use these for Proxmox VE virtualization, pfSense or OPNsense firewalls, OpenWRT, or other similar use cases.

We go into the technology, its performance, and some of the gotchas to see how much Intel QAT accelerates a dual-socket Intel Xeon Gold 6338N ("Ice Lake") server compared to an AMD EPYC 7513 ("Milan") server. We also show a bit on what you can do to achieve this level of acceleration in your systems with compression, IPsec VPN, and nginx HTTPS servers as we look at Intel QuickAssist performance.
Note: This was sponsored by Intel because I needed to fly up to Oregon and we needed to put together a 100GbE demo environment using some fairly specialized tools. As always, we retained full editorial control and Intel did not get to review anything prior to publication including scripts, the main site article, or the video before we published it.
