That was true through the 90's, but not anymore. A typical datacenter unit from 2014 would have been a 4-socket Ivy Bridge-EP with 32ish ~3 GHz cores. You aren't going to emulate that feasibly with equivalent performance on anything modern, not yet.

Which would be very fast relative to any such Ivy Bridge server. Transitioning away from x86 definitely is feasible, as very successfully demonstrated by Apple.
