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 amazing Mikrotik CCR2004, 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
