Really, how so? Many AMD CPU's have AES-NI. Even the
A10-6800K (4 x 4.1GHz) would be decent. That plus an a85x
mainboard (1Gbit) and 8GB ddr3-2133 is $300. Add some
case+ps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_FX_microprocessors#.22Vishera.22_.2832_nm_SOI.29

Be careful, Intel likes to promote HT instead of full cores.
There's likely some reviews of HT vs. OS schedulers out there.
Intel/Opteron get pricy very quick, check price vs. performance
vs. the price delta to get a second AMD node up at 2 x nMbps.
A lot of the price may be in die/power and cache, which
may not be of concern.
