So right now I am running an i3 8th gen for my 1.3 gig cable connection and it does well. I am looking at moving to fiber and a 2.5 gig connection and think I will need more single core speed for zenarmor. I was looking at the i3 13th or 14th gen. Since I have had such good luck with my current setup, I just wanted to find out if any one had any issues with the newer intel cpus due to the efficiency cores

I've read rumors that there isn't a lot of difference between generation 13 and 14, but that might have only been up at the highest performers like i7 and i9.

I did just look up the i3-13100 and i3-14100 and not a lot of difference in frequency so to me it might be up to PCIe lanes and speed, and amount and speed of ram.

What I should ask more clearly is, are there any comparability issues with those processors with the new cores and opnsense
