10Gbps OPNsense with a N5105 CPU (alien.top)

I'll try to make it short.

I'm thinking about moving my PfSense router from a VM on my server to a dedicated OPNsense machine and I am looking at those seemingly sweet R86S.

I was wondering if the R86S' N5105 would be able to handle 10Gbps with a relatively simple config (no suricata and deep packet inspection for the foreseeable future but some inter VLAN routing and a VPN).

Another option would be to use a SFF computer with an i7-4790 and add a 10Gb NIC (electricity is cheap here but I'd rather not have another i7 powered space heater during the next heat waves).

I'm open to suggestions if neither would work but I'm trying to keep everything under 300$.

Thanks y'all!
