   Q: How does iSCSI HBA help reduce CPU utilization?
   A: Software iSCSI initiators consume considerable CPU cycles when handling I/O-intensive workloads, leaving
   little headroom for growing user application requirements. Broadcom’s iSCSI HBA architecture minimizes the
   CPU overhead so valuable CPU cycles are allocated to process user applications. Broadcom iSCSI HBA only uses
   1/3 of the CPU cycles required by the software initiator for a 4K I/O size read operation1.
