If you think 32 cores/64 threads (Whether Xeon or EPYC) is awesome, look at the IBM Power series. A 12-core IBM Power8 will do 96 threads....

Simply never enough cores or cash.

And IBM is selling Power8 servers like the E870 that can be configured with up to 80 POWER8 cores (=640 threads!) and 8 TB of RAM.....
I guess it won't come cheap though....and is there a boinc client for the latest version of AIX? Would there be an Ubuntu variant for IBM Power architecture? Yes!
