Higher frequency. Period.
Right now, network and PF processing is limited to CPU0. You want that
as fast as possible.
Additionally, you want as fast memory transfers (from CPU to RAM) as
possible.
That will give you the most performance.
Is it as simple as "Higher frequency."?
Shouldn't there be a view on the instruction sets mostly used in network
traffic handling and cycle usage of these instructions?
Or is this equivalent at the up-to-date processors?
If not, it is possible that lower frequency is faster.
