Those cores are going to be sold to you largely on their memory bandwidth benefits for the top end of the Xeon range.<p>If you need memory bandwidth, you will gladly pay for them, and look seriously at IBM (something we just did).<p>If you don&#x27;t know that you need memory bandwidth, just skip them. Also, I would suggest you check out OVH or Hetzner for a new startup -- it&#x27;s (sadly) very unlikely that you will need enough servers for long enough to make buying your own a good plan.
