As of (extremely recently) there's now an 80-core system in the Netperf 
cluster.  I'm not sure that it's ready for production (which is to say, ready 
to be used in SMP scalability work) yet, but it's intended as a resource to 
help with these sorts of issues.  This box was purchased by the FreeBSD 
Foundation and very helpful rates from iX Systems.
