What would I get better results with 2X Cavium ThunderX processors with 96 cores or 2 × E5-2640 v3 with 16 cores?
depends as much on the storage IO subsystem and workload as it does on the CPU. does this 96 core system also have the sort of memory bandwidth to keep up with the core count? how fast are each of those arm cores compared with the E5-2640v3 cores?
being an ARM, software support will likely lag, and you'll probably find yourself having to do a lot of your own compiling of stuff beyond the basic OS.
