This sounds right (~100Mbit per CPU core without AES-NI), but it would be good to hear Moritz weigh in here with some additional datapoints for AES-NI. Last I heard, AES-NI gets you ~300Mbit per core, but I have no direct experience myself.
Yes, 300Mbit/s is my estimate as well. We publish some amount of statistics at https://torservers.net/munin/ (axigy1, axigy2 and voxility1 are on Gbit).
You probably also shouldn't run too many of these sized relays by yourself, either. It is generally considered poor form to run too much of the Tor network by yourself until other people can catch up and balance your efforts. I would look for ways to decentralize/delegate once you got beyond a couple gbits or so for this reason. Please feel free to ask the list for suggestions on legal and admin structure for accomplishing this.
Happy to help! If you have any questions you can also reach me via Jabber (same address as this email address).
