Pentium 8505 Proxmox/Opnsense QAT

[DarrenL]

Hi. Currently trying to configure an industrial mini PC with a Pentium 8505. Ultimately we want to use QAT with OpenVPN but QAT doesn't seem to be available.

Proxmox version is 8.4.1

lscpu and lspci output below.

Any help appreciated.

Darren.

Hi,

Intel® Pentium® Processors do not have Intel® QuickAssist Technology (QAT) accelerators. QAT devices are included only in the latest Intel® Xeon® Processors (4th Gen and newer) depending on the model.

This is an example for your comparison between Intel® Pentium® Gold Processor 8505 and Intel® Xeon® Gold 6554S Processor. See under Advanced Technologies a line for Intel® QuickAssist Technology (QAT).

Regards,
Diego V.
