Thanks! Initially and no doubt for a long time, 14 cores will be plenty for my startup. I've done my software development on one core at 1.8 GHz. Going live, I'm considering 4 cores at about 3.2 GHz or 8 cores at 4.0 GHz -- for total cost down in the very low rent district. Or, the month my startup keeps 14 cores, or 8 cores, or even 4 cores, busy will be when I order a new, high end Corvette and go shopping for a really nice house! My question was not really about being "fast enough" but just what the heck is the cost per core per clock Hz? E.g., $160 buys an 8 core AMD processor at 4.0 GHz, and a high end Xeon costs much, much more per core per clock Hz. I can see that an Intel processor would save on electrical power, but at least initially that will be, all other things considered, small potatoes.
