Vcore is hyperthread of unknown CPU. So in reality 1000 vcores is 500 real cores. - All the overheads it&#x27;s more like 450 given the low utilization until dataset loads to keep it at 10 sec you would need 90 real cores or 4 X 3 node dual boxes (ebay 1.5K each) and 2 X infiniband switches (ebay 2X300). For 6600 you have a dedicated solution with no latency bubbles fixed low cost.
