I don't think you'll be able to buy a machine with more CPUs than we support in illumos. I've personally used older HP machines with 4 CPU sockets and thus a lot of cores, and modern AMD systems which have a still surprising number of cores in one or two packages. In the unlikely event that you hit a problem based on core count, I am sure it will just be a bug that can be fixed. Cheers. -- Joshua M.
