ZeroPi – $9.99 SBC with 512MB and Gigabit Ethernet

I'm kind of curious, what would this do which actually requires GB ethernet? Seems like processing limits and SD card speed would get overwhelmed quickly.

Does this have enough HP to work as a caching proxy or mini firewall?

It has 4 Cortex-A7 cores with up to 1.2GHz. Given the kind of stuff e.g. OpenWRT usually runs on, I would say it has more than enough power.

For simple workloads (e.g. serving static files via HTTP) I'm pretty sure it could saturate a gigabit connection.

You can even find pre-made travel routers with the Allwinner H3: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Allwinner-Quad-core-high-Per...
