Original article is from 2008. Now you can get a 1U-twin Supermicro with 24 cores in 1U.

The parent is correct. Many vendors make 24 cores in 1U nowadays. For example you can get an Asus barebone with two Opteron 6168 processors for $2290: $800 barebone (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816110...) plus two $745 processors (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819105...)
