BIG-IP 1600 TPS limit calculation

We have big-ip 1600 and this is what i am seeing to figure out how much TPS it can handle

 

f5cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l 2

 

f5grep -i "perf_SSL_total_TPS" /config/bigip.license perf_SSL_total_TPS : UNLIMITED

 

we have 2048 key size. how do i calculate how many TPS my box can handle? I am reading here but in that example they didn't say anything about UNLIMIRED.

    I found an old data sheet that says 5,000 TPS for the 1600, but that was for 1k keys. The 2k is probably no more than 1,000 TPS as 2k is 5x more expensive than 1k.
