This is a Dell Optiplex 3050 mini tower. It is a bit of a special case because I have all but 1 of the cpu cores and hyperthreading disabled in the bios to cut power draw. I only have a 1gig fiber so I don't NEED multicores and such. Killing the extra cores means my idle power has dropped to 12W which is pretty dang good. During this test there was a bunch of samba shit running in the background that I can't stop so I'm sure the wireguard results would be much higher if I tested during no load conditions.

Still, nearly 2 gigs a sec isn't that bad for a single core cpu and it's more then I need so I'm pleased with it's performance and efficiency. And the price was $40 so ya know, not bad.
ohh you are correct. My mistake I had hyperthreading enabled.
Here is the test results with hyperthreading disabled and I confirmed with htop and cat /proc/cpuinfo that only 1 core is on.

Asus BT8, presumably MT7988DV, tri-core Cortex-A73 ARMv8.0-A @ 1800 MHz.
All three cores looks saturated during the test. The "current" frequency however never moves from 1500 MHz.

This one looks like having a significant jump on VPN speed, it's even faster than the higher clock rate WRT3200ACM!
Can you tell which variant of RT-AC68U? Because I know this AC68U has at least 6 different hardware revision, usually you can tell from the label of router.
This one is very interesting, looking at boot log of BT8, it supposed to have 4-core which is the same as MT7988A, however CPU 3 (4th core) is unable to bring up, however comparing with Banana Pi BPI-R4 the WG test is even higher (but the data on BPI-R4 is still with older version which might be the cause)

I've tested nanopi r6s myself, and upon initial startup, packets almost always arrive on 1 bigcore and 1 littlecore (3,4) (1gbps). After deleting and re-creating the interface, the packets arrive on two bigcores (5,6) (3.4gbps). In unlucky cases, the little core is reassigned when re-creating.
So, after rebooting and running setup-netns.sh > benchmark.sh, I got 900mbps+. After that, running clean-up.sh > setup-netns.sh > benchmark.sh, I got 3.3~3.5gbps.
I don't know how to assign interfaces only to bigcores.
After installing [procps-ng-watch], I checked which CPUs were receiving packets with [watch -n1 "cat /proc/softirqs | grep NET_RX"]
