Normally the solution is to have the NIC give you multiple receive queues and then tie each queue to a different core, meaning you get a packet on each core every time you clock them off the NIC. Increasing CPU cores gives you a massive win when you do that.

(On a hardware note, increasing cores and decreasing frequency makes the CPU look more like an ASIC :) )
