But that one costs 6.4x the 16 core variant for 6x the cores. Are there any applications where you're heavily dependent on having all cores in one machine?

- nl 9y agoYes. XGBoost will use all the cores you throw at it, and despite the recent work on GPU versions most of the time CPU cores are best. I'll commonly run a model for 48 hours on an i7. I'd love to be able to try more models.
