I was looking through the BOINC stats pages when I noticed that there were a couple systems like this. Now, I had not heard of a Xeon X7560, but look at the core count on that system. Googling "xeon x7560" brings up this page. So if there are 4 CPUs and 64 cores that's (let's see, 4, 12, carry the one, divide by pi, integrate) 16 threads per CPU! So, is anyone else as intrigued as me about why these are showing up in BOINC, and when we can wrestle them from the hands of IBM and Intel?
