Another data point and a comment about temperatures. i5-650/H55, half the cores and about 60% the cost compared to the above. 8.1-STABLE amd64 make -j16 universe in 4 hours 5 minutes. all cores running at 100% according to top -P 30C idle 42C max during make I'm a EE and I used to make my living designing microprocessor-based computers. Our design standard for maximum chip temperature was 45C. Above that and the MTBF starts falling fast. Today's motherboards have a lot fewer components, so 45C is too low if you have a single motherboard, but not if you have 100. For the i7-870 above, the intel datasheet says at a maximum power of 95w, the maximum permitted temperature is 72.7C. For the i5-650 at 73w, the maximum permitted temperature is 66C.
