I assume it's the 8 cores and doubles the threads which is probably what
you do have in hands.
"cat /proc/cpuinfo"
should give the exact model of the CPU.
so if it's 2 SOCKETS it means 16 real cores with shared 2.5MB cache per
couple cores unless there are new CPUs out there that INTEL doesn't
provide data on.
it's a very powerful machine!!
16 cores should handle about 11-12k requests per sec and even more
without any slowdown from the CPU and ram.
when it comes to HDD it's another levels of speed which slows down
couple things.
Again adding little by little users on this monster should give you the
bigger picture on how to manage this beast.
