There's plenty of work that will max out your NiC before maxing out all cores, or even one, with reasonably efficient code.

At some point youre just actually pushing 10 Gbit/s through a process that is using a few 10-15% per core.

You're missing my point. Servers are very expensive and are sized to task. If your NICs (or whatever) bottleneck the server with 32 cores worth of load, then you buy a server with 32 cores, not one with 64 cores.
