When you consider that a standard commodity rack server such as an

would suggest x86 can handle a lot of I/O if you have the right gear.
I think it's important to note that all of these are distinct and germane:
- what the hardware can theoretically support
- what the OS can support
- what is asked of them
- what people are willing to pay for
Having the right gear is very important. Effectively utilizing it is
also important.
