2 Physical CPU servers are still very common on Intel and that is what you dont need to deal with on Arm , im not sure if single muli cores will repace this there are other good reasons for 2 CPUs . Agree multi core on each CPU is standard . re other stuff i know . I just always look for a solution that delivers most of what is needed that can be upgraded , just a habbit that has served me well.
