Not tried to push it but it has 20 Windows Server 2012 R2 instances running on it at the moment all with 8Gb of memory (this is overcommitted dynamic memory). Disk is on a SAN larger than my kitchen. I span up a Linux VM quickly to do a bogomips on :)

I can probably push 40 of those onto it without it bending too terribly. If I knock the RAM down to 2Gb an instance I could probably quite happily get 64-100 on it in theory. I think memory bandwidth might kill it before CPU does.

We have two almost full (18 each) 42U racks of those machines (bar switches) so across the 720 E5 cores with 4.6TiB of RAM there is about 4.3 million bogomips.

Fun :)

(most of this is corporate fileservers, exchange, AD, various crappy apps, network appliances, web servers, SQL servers and idles at around 20% in use). If it all went off you'd need earplugs and fireman's equipment.
