If you're willing to run VPP on Ubuntu (or Debian) can be done on very 
low power machines and at surprising throughput.
Take a look at for example this ~18 Watt machine: 
https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2024/07/05/review-r86s-jasper-lake-n6005/
Or a rack mountable ~22 Watt machine: 
https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2024/08/03/review-gowin-1u-2x25g-alder-lake-n305/

Both of these machines are very affordable, rack mountable (in the case 
of R86S with a rack-mount kit), and route 10G+ with full BGP tables.
The articles also go into some detail on the machine and CPU specs, and 
how those intersect with DPDK and VPP forwarding.

groet,
Pim
