        Yes to new hardware, but no details to share just yet. Stay tuned.
        No to CES this year, perhaps next year.

          Seems reasonable to assume new hardware will be available with rollout of pfSense+. If I were looking to release a new software brand that was intended to become the future of my company, I would certainly try to do so on fancy new hardware to create as big a halo as possible. I suspect and hope we will see new devices within the next few weeks as I intend to do an upgrade once new hardware is released and would love to be able to pull that trigger this month.

            Please, please, please, a rack mount version of the SG-5100, please and thank you. Or maybe, because it would be an obvious upgrade, name it the NEW SG-5200.

              I hope we see something with some higher clocks. Snort is the most important package to me and I'm not confident in the ability of the current appliances with circa 2015 Xeon D chips running it with a lot of rules at >= 1Gb.

              I hope we get something with a Xeon D-1600N series chip or Xeon E.

                  I hope for something like an Epyc Embedded Platform, like OPNsense did with their current hardware.

                    It has been running for a couple of years, hassle free...๐Ÿ˜‰

                      Which case did u use, the SCE300?
                      I also want SFP+ on this Platform!

                        Yes SCE300 + Noctua (3.pcs.)

                        • Intel X710-D4 + Supermicro RISER for SFP+ and / or dual rate SFP(s) Intel E1/10GSFPSR
                          https://www.fs.com/de-en/products/36431.html

                        this makes it very configurable ๐Ÿ˜‰

                          but can be built into this chassis with a smaller trick:
                          CSE-505-203B

                            Something like this would be awesome:

                              All the Eypc solutions suggested would be awesome! I'm worried though, that Netgate is biased against AMD architectures. I can recall several posts over the last few years railing against AMD over CCX and memory latency :/

                                Nope... I hope so ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                AMD is starting to "eat" Intel.
                                Xeon vs. Epyc
                                https://www.theregister.com/2021/02/24/digitalocean_premium_droplets_amd/

                                I have been using the AMD Epyc embedded series for a long time, -
                                no question with pfSense.

                                Synology has just switched to:

                                https://www.amd.com/en/products/embedded-ryzen-v1000-series
                                https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/RS1221+

                                Wonderful solution with 2x10Gig Ethernet
                                So there are opportunities

                                BTW:

                                Of course my desktop pc:
                                Xeon W-1270 + Intel W480E chipset
                                Supermicro mini-ITX X12SCV-LVDS-O
