I finally had enough of my servers getting bottle-necked when doing web-updates and during rush-hour on my web-sites so I ordered a new set of co-processors for them and they arrived and I installed them this morning. So far I have a 1,400 % increase in floating-point arithmetic and about a 300% to 350% boost in up-down traffic. After I get them primed and tweak the architecture a bit I should gain another 200%+ in overall performance. If anyone has a server or a computer that is too sluggish but still too new to just scrap then I highly recommend these new Phi setups from intel. The ones I got are 61-Core with on-board cooling and are clocked at 1.2 GHz stock but I have mine over-clocked to 1.87 GHz but you will need a liquid cooler to do this because the air-cooler does not do well once you exceed about 1.3 GHz. If you have any questions I will be more than happy to answer and will also be publishing a review after I have ran them for a while. I will post the general specs and a picture below.
Type: Co-Processor
HM/C: Fan/Air (Compatible w/Liquid)
Series: Phi by intel
Core: 61 @ 1.2 GHz
Cost: $4,218.17 (each)
Box: Server as long as a single rack is empty (air) or 3 racks (Liquid)
Architecture: 64 bit with full adjustment unlocked as is.

What are your upload and download speeds like?
I have liquid cooled trading computers and like that feature.

18 up 30 down but thats my isp and really has little to do with the servers which could theoretically push about 10000 times that amount of data in about half a second (total of 67 cores & 32Gb RAM in each rack) if the tier was not subject to bottle necking
