I agree. But I do need a third quote, though I suppose I could get a reseller along with Dell and the HP. I was sort of looking for anther vendor that's got 64 cores in 1U (the Dell's 2U).
If you are looking for density, shouldn't you be using blade systems? I think both HP and Dell have blades that can go to 64 cores.
I suspect it's total cores per machine + density; I dunno if HP/Dell/anyone else can do that sort of density on cores with blades. I have some IBM 3850s that seem to get close (and I'd gladly give them to all sorts of people that I greatly dislike)
if blades are an option, Cisco UCS blades seems to work quite well for us, but I don't think they get much over the dual proc hexacore range.
No, I'm not looking at blades. They're $$$, while the Dell & HP are in the $13k range.
