Given how much these types of processors are used for virtualization, wouldn't a lower core count at a higher clock speed be just as useful? 32 cores at 1.4Ghz only seems useful if you need to use a lot of processor affinity, but assigning faster vCPUs to your VMs doesn't seem to have a downside. Just not sure what advantage this would have over a 16core 2.8ghz chip as a comparison.
