What do you think? Parallel usage will be pegged at 100%, regardless of number of cores. Would like to spend less than $1500 for the CPU, though the cheaper the better.
Do you think a two-CPU mobo would be good? Looking to have at least 20+ threads available.
16 core AMD? ($719), or two of these?

Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E 8-Core 3.0GHz ($1050)

It will be a while before I buy, (few months to a year or so possibly).
Thoughts? Anything I'm missing?
CPU needs to support SSE2, AVX, etc.
