The specs look like my multimedia Athlon XP PC from 2002, talk about embedded not being powerful enough.

The raw specs doesn't look impressive, but network offloading and forwarding capabilities means that the cores will sit mostly idle, even under some load.

If you want to put it to the demarcation line of your network and forget it, it's a fine device. If you want to run containers and services on it, this is not it.

Horses for courses, YMMV, as always.
