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.
