Hello all

I've been reading
https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/projects/suricata/wiki/High_Performance_Configuration
as a base for a planned upgrade to our existing system.

We have about 1-2Gbit/sec on a 10G link, Intel ixgbe and will use
PF_RING or AF_PACKET.

I've been looking at the recent AMD 16C CPUs and seeing that you can
buy a 4-CPU box resulting in 64 cores.

Are more individual cores preferable to having faster individual CPUs?

Thanks.
