Re: [tor-relays] Smallest, cheapest, lightest computer for tor relay

AES-NI is an extension to the x86 architecture for CPUs from Intel and AMD. The Pi 3 is build with a ARM Cortex-A53 CPU (ARMv8-A). This has NEON SIMD extension (Advanced SIMD 128 bit registers) with instruction level support for AES (which implement AES rounds) and SHA-1/SHA-256.

So, I think it should be faster with Tor.

I don't remember, RPi v3 has the famous AES-NI that make everything faster for Tor ? :s
