I have an a3ssv-8c-spln10f with Pfsense, it idle arround 46 Watt.
My X10SDV-TP8F (also 2x10Gbit SFP) makes this at 26 Watt.
I am thinking about not using it.

would be nice to have custom large 4U heatsinks for this to control noise when its installed in a larger form factor chassis

27.6W idle? Funny, that almost exactly what the Xeon E5-2650L v3 in my toy server uses all 24 threads pegged (non-AVX load tho I think). At idle it draws about 1W. Same for *any* Intel CPU I’ve come across actually, as long as you enable power save and C-states and whatnot.

Please can you do an idle power and how far can you go down, incl tuning with the kernel part, when you review the full server system.

fwiw the x12sdv series also has high idle power figures. Whether this is a process issue, BMC, related to SFP28 networking capabilities or otherwise – I do not know.

pfSense does 9Gbps routing 4Gbps firewall on a C3338R 2-core. Firewall jumps to 8.61G on C1110 4-core. Using that ratio: this is what, a 32Gbps firewall?

Too much perf for pfSense
