MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ 16 Core 2GHZ ARM CPU 16GB DDR4 Ram 4 x 10G SFP+

Mikrotik wanted to see the full potential of the good, old, reliable 10G networking combined with a modern CPU. CCR2116-12G-4S+ allows you to forget about CPU limitations in your setup. Like its younger brother the amazingMikrotikCCR2004, this router features the mighty Amazon Annapurna Labs Alpine CPU.

Obviously, you need the right connectivity to harness this power. There are four 10G SFP+ ports. The MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+have a separate, full-duplex line connected to the Marvell Amethyst family switch chip.

The MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+we have Gigabit Ethernet ports. 12 of them are running through the Marvel chip. And there is another Gigabit port connected directly to the CPU.

For management purposes.

Each group of 4 ports has a separate full-duplex connection to the switch chip. No bottlenecks here. You can expect switch-like throughput in most setups.

But with 16 cores running at 2 GHz, this CCR eats the other one for breakfast. For example, we see at least a 15% increase in single-core performance. And that is the most important aspect when it comes to heavy operations based on per-connection processing. Like queues, for example. CCR2116-12G-4S+ sets a new standard of single-core performance in the whole CCR product family.
