Then came Ivy Bridge - E 12 cores!!!

Meaning what??

Not up to the user, "how many cores are utilized"... up to the software.

And the software is the posters own responsibility. Choosing something that does not scale and then whining about it - bad.

Anyone planning to play around with one of these?

At that clock speed its really only good for major cloud infrastructure. If you want that many cores at such a low clock speed then a GPU would be easier. If it were up to 2+ ghz maybe but anything below is pretty slow and will be cost prohibitive.

My main problem is - too little memory. My backtest cluster is calculating 1gb / core (we possibly could do with half) - that thing can address 8gb with 60 cores. That makes it very good for a lot of low data stuff (web server) but very bad when you have to keep some data in memory.
