Why threads in particular and not just CPU / cores?
SPARC T5, a sixteen-core, 128-concurrent-thread processor.

Need for CPU mining.
Best i could see now is 2x Xeon 5639 (24 threads)
CPU mining is not worth it, unless you have free power.
I know but i have something uneque in mind so i was wishing to try for a month.
Dedicated servers providers allow CPU mining? not 100% usage
just 50-60
Thanks
Yes, as the server is yours, you are free to do whatever you want, as long as you don't abuse the providers network(spamming, etc.) You can run even at 800%
(8 cores ie)
Dedicated server providers shouldn't mind your CPU mining, they should not know what you are running inside the server anyway.
Great @rds100 can u provide 2x xeon 5639
No.
We have dual L5520, which should be 16 threads for $49 if you're interested.
E5-2690V2. 20 threads each. so a dual cpu server would give you 40 threads. Each core is 3Ghz.
Or the E5-2697V2. 12 cores/24 threads each but they run at 2.7ghz (still great!)
It's not worth it to mine on CPU. On the other hands there is some pretty neat USB drives which can do 330Mh/s which is pretty impressive.
They cost about £20 with a 2.5w Power usage.
USB drives ?
Eh? If you're going to mine cryptocurrency would would you idle the CPU 40-50% ? As CPU intense workload you'd want to be pushing for close to 100% of each core unless you have a really inefficient custom miner that introduces io block on same thread(s) doing the mining..
I have client with this

I believe it will be 48?
