DEC3920 / DEC3940 / DEC3960 CPU

does anyone know what CPU is in the DEC3920 / DEC3940 / DEC3960 series? why opnsense product page never state this is annoying. trying to figure out if it how well it would do wireguard and zenarmor, my guess is terrible, otherwise they would publish the specs

Hm. Either the Ryzen 8840U/8845HS or the Epyc 2435. I'd guess the latter, but it's just a guess. Not likely an Intel, as it'd be hard to find a model with 8 homogenous cores.

It has a stat for Wireguard: 4.23Gbps/410kpps, which seems low, but it's not something I've tested. "Threat Protection" is 7.93Gbps/700kpps. IPS software is not specified. Also not something I've tested.

What kind of performance are you looking for?

i don't think its any of those based on the TDPs. *shrug*. zenarmor being singled threaded, i just would like to support opnsense, but this sort of hiding of information is nonsense, if i am going to spent $2000+ on a router, i'd like to know the exact specs.

They look OK to me. ~30W idle, ~150W max. My own firewall is similar (a 7700X), but with a bit higher power limit.

But yes, if it was up to me I'd publish more data. And send one to ServeTheHome. The folks there really don't have a complete firewall test suite (I'd like to see e.g. session setup rate and time to set up, say, 1500 VPNs), but I don't know of any review site that does.
