Since this is virtualization, make sure that features such as AES
acceleration are active.

The number of cores is not really relevant since Tor is not
multi-threaded. The EPYC 7702 can boost up to 3.35 GHz, check that it
reaches that under load.

Also since you have 2 cores, you can run two instances of Tor.

I assume you mean 1 Gbit/s.
