You can get full blown Xeon chips with 22 cores per socket nowadays. You don't have to go ARM or Xeon-D to get a ton of cores. http://ark.intel.com/products/91317/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-...

The point I wanted to make is that in that market segment, you can choose between many small or a few large cores for the same price, not just buy a bigger CPU for more money.
