Protectli Vp2420 performance experiences

[Mming]

Good afternoon,
Considering purchasing a Protectli VP2420 for my network. As far as I understand this uses the Intel J6420 CPU. I was wondering if anyone have any experience using this, or a similar device, with this CPU for Opnsense and Zenarmor NG Firewall. The current network is not large, I would estimate to 25-30 devices.
Storage will not be an issue and I plan for 16GB of ram.

I would look for a 4 core processor, the J6420 says it is only 2 cores. This will be even more important when Zenarmor goes to multithreaded operation towards the end of the year.

That said, I see they also have a version with the J6412 which the Amazon listing says is 4 cores. You might also look at some of the AMD powered devices.

The vp2420 uses the Intel J6412, which is indeed a Quad-core CPU: https://protectli.com/product/vp2420/

I'd also be interested in its performance with OPNsense and ZenArmor in a 16GB RAM configuration.

I am using a small box with a J6412 (https://www.gigaipc.com/en/products-detail/QBiX-EHLA6412-A1/), 16GB Ram, and running a paid version of Zenarmor. There's miles of headroom but the network load is not exactly demanding and I am not running either Suricata or a VPN.
