Its 2019. Doesn’t matter anymore. Get whatever network card you want and some i5/i7 or something AMD. (CPUs support AES in ASICS since 2011)

Hi!
I have Sonic Fiber which offers gigabit symmetric connection. I am thinking of using it for gigabit Tor relay, but I wonder what would be good hardware to use for something like that. Information I have found [1] is from 2010 so I wonder if there are any updates? Is there any simple small box I could use? Like Intel NUC? Information here [2] says that one can get 400 Mbps with AES-NI. And so with two processes limit per my public IP this would be around 800 Mbps then. Is this still a reasonable expectation? Do I have to care about the network card to serve gigabit (besides its being nominally gigabit)? What would be memory requirements for such a device?
