IS YOUR CONFIGURATION SIMILAR TO WHAT I AM SAYING?
I ASKED FOR COMPARISON.
So, why shout at him...no where in your original post did you asked for comparison...you asked for recommendation and indicated you're considering i5 or i7 processor. He gave you an i5 processor hardware recommendation, didn't he?
Ultimately, only you, as network administrator of your network will determine what's best for you. We all had to make our own choice of hardware for what we want to accomplish with our network.

What bandwidth does the firewall need to pass?
@enesas Without providing that information very little specific advice can be given.
You already have a bench mark (your existing system), relative generic processor comparisons are easily found online. For balanced systems bench marked for pfsense performance see https://www.netgate.com/pfsense-plus-software/how-to-buy#appliances
There is no justification for shouting given your (some what lazy request) and considered responses received.

I didn't shout at anyone! Maybe there is a pronunciation error due to translation. Don't be sorry about this.
Thank you all for taking the time to help.

You wrote in all CAPS:

It was probably just a mistake but it reads like you are demanding a comparison.
It's all good!

@enesas Good choice...should last at least five-years...congrats!

Yeah that should handle just about anything!

Why 12th gen? Is the CPU instruction set that much different? -

It was the OP's choice and I just affirmed...
