Well Wendell talking about intel Quick Assist got me really intrested. But looking at intel ark. Its really hard to find the cpu’s that have this feature. Is there a list of cpu’s that have quick assist.
I saw that there also where some chipsets doing Intel Quickassist.
What is the deal, how can i easily find a cpu that support it. I’m looking around. but its not there is a function to see the support ?
I’ve used this as a reference for what products support it and which version. I was able to find a cheap 8950, that I will experiment with later.
i got the 8950, under windows its driver isue galore. I didn’t have time to put it in my linux box. also don’t have the free pcie slot for it 
I recently got a qotom router box that got a atom procesor with qat. that one is working mutch better.
Thank you for the reply, I had no current plans of using my 8950 in Windows, but now I’ll be wary of the idea. I did find this as a reference for what I should be expecting performance-wise out of my 8950 : https://jira.whamcloud.com/secure/attachment/28344/BGI-Intel-QAT-Performance-2016-09.pdf but they ran it under Linux. I’ve also looked into the driver state of it on FreeBSD, as they seemed to have updated the drivers significantly with 14.0. ("This qat driver was introduced in FreeBSD 14.0. FreeBSD 13.0 included a different version of qat driver), so I might try out both of those since I have older hardware.
Do you mind telling me what offloads, and a ballpark of what performance you got out of the atom, and if that was any trouble to deal with?
I didn’t get the atom over 5% ussage. but its running as a router right now. The nginx proxy server where i’m going to use the ofload. i simpy didn’t config yet. Time is always a fleeding resource
