Hardware and Performance / Re: CPU recommendations for 1Gbps w/PPPoE

Appreciate your feedback!
So, using a CPU benchmarking site, I look at the single core scoring and this gives me (hopefully) a way to compare CPUs. So if the 3770 work w/o problem, then that SHOULD give me a way to compare various CPUs (looking at their single core scoring).
One other thing I'm wondering about now - In light of the whole single threaded PPPoE thing, would more cores/threads in a CPU help any other part of the system run better? Or, for example, with a dual core CPU, with one core/thread doing all the PPPoE work, would the 2nd core/thread then be completely sufficient to run everything else? Or would the 'everything else' part possibly benefit from a 4 core CPU so that 'everything else' would then have 3 cores vs just 1.
Basically, wondering if I should even bother looking at 4 core CPUs, or since dealing with PPPoE, is just a dual core (with proper single threaded scoring) be enough.
