for each core.
So, yes, I agree that re-wording "Most FreeNAS servers would not benefit from a second CPU."
would be a good idea. Perhaps;

I make that 2 core recomendation because ZFS has a bit more over-head than UFS and other fileMost FreeNAS servers would not benefit from a second CPU socket. However, using a CPU
that has at least 2 cores is recomended
