Wait, is this 10200 a new product? It looks like it could actually be pretty useful. If I'm reading this right, if I go to the configurator on the web site with the default options for $5825, that's actually the price of 2 nodes with 8 cores and 8GB each? That's actually reasonably competitive if you need that much power. Now how cool do you need to keep the ambient temperature? You must be walking a pretty fine line when you're cooling 4 Xeons in that much space...

But what I think it's important to say (and I say it all the time and see people not realizing this a lot) is that 16 cores worth of computers that are advertised as being for rendering don't render any better than 16 cores of computers that are not advertised as being for rendering. You can get more cores in that space than some other vendors, but they are the same cores.
