I have IDE hard disk with Mikrotik routerOS v4.16. I want to know if if RouterOS work with dual , quad core possessor and i3,i5 and i7 processor.

Does RouterOS benifits from these processors (for example, is dual core 2.0 GHz faster than 3.0 GHz Pentium 4 in routerOS ?)

Pentium4 is a very old CPU. The new i7 will still be better in v4
