I just did a quick test using "benchmark_rate" into a B210, doing a "tx"
test at 30Msps. That consumed 52% of a single
CPU on my i5-6200 system at 2.7GHz. There were a handful of U during
the 1 minute test.
Since I don't have LimeSDR setup on my machine, I can't compare. Nor can
I compare to BladeRF (the other USB-based
tx-capable SDR).
