Have you even looked at the offerings? The P-series/single socket CPUs are, at the same specs, only slightly cheaper than the dual socket ones. 2×7282 gives me 32 cores at $1300 list price. 7443P is $1337 for 24 cores. 7502P is even more expensive. Two 7282s is pretty much the best perf/power/money option as far as I can see.
