Keep in mind that unless you're doing something like transcoding for a Plex server, you don't really need much in the way of CPU for a home NAS.

I have a Synology DS1618+ that uses the Intel Atom C3538, and run a few other services on it (AdGuard/Sonarr/Radarr/Sabnzbd etc). Just looked at the performance history, and CPU utilization seems to sit around 5-10% with a few spikes to 40-50%.
