Besides the throughput, sessions, zones, address objects, decrypt sessions, does anyone have suggestions on noticeable differences between the 820 vs 850 for performance?

I don't have 850s (yet), but I will be rolling some out in the coming months. Looking at the spec sheet @Raido_Rattameister posted I think really tells the whole story. There's not "much" difference. The biggest most important thing is probably the 10G capabilities.
I think in practice the 850 might be a bit faster on commits perhaps. If you talk to your SE and you've got an NDA they'll likely tell you the no-kidding performance differences, but I bet there isn't much.
In general though it's my understanding there's some logging /sec limitations (Though it's still "high") on the 8XX series.
So I'd talk to your SE about logging and 10G needs if you're looking into the 800 series.

Yep, went through all that, Thank you for the suggestion though! Wondering if anyone has hands on with them side by side, any nuances/differences they've noticed?
