Hi,<br><br>More cores always help.<br>I would think Individual CPU's is better - but 64core for 1-2Gbit is unnecessarily excessive i believe.<br>Suggestion - more RAM is always good to have/handy and cheep (depending on the size of the rules set that you would like to run).<br>

Hello all<br>
<br>
I've been reading<br>
<a href="https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/projects/suricata/wiki/High_Performance_Configuration" target="_blank">https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/projects/suricata/wiki/High_Performance_Configuration</a><br>

as a base for a planned upgrade to our existing system.<br>
<br>
We have about 1-2Gbit/sec on a 10G link, Intel ixgbe and will use<br>
PF_RING or AF_PACKET.<br>
<br>
I've been looking at the recent AMD 16C CPUs and seeing that you can<br>
buy a 4-CPU box resulting in 64 cores.<br>
<br>
Are more individual cores preferable to having faster individual CPUs?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
