It's missing the processor cores. Each grid need 2 cores to work properly.

That's 24 cores and 24 threads, doesn't appear that cpu support hyperthreading. Agree not a lot of cores\threads on that cpu.

 

So I would say 4x4 would  likely Max that system out. Depending on the number of players too. Lower player count the more grids you could run.

Important thing i've seen running the servers is the number of islands on each grid also, the more islands you put on a grid the more creature spawn you will have so demand is higher a bit. Also how many claims you allow per company / size of their base.

I don't think the processors will be your bottleneck, i'd worry more about the ram in the system than anything. I have a c6220 with 8x xeon 2670 v2's (2.5ghz, 3ghz turbo) with 384gb of ram. The way i have mine set up is in 4 individual nodes. each node has 2x processors and 96gb of ram dedicated to it. I run a 5x5 across those 4 machines and i'm only using 9% cpu but i'm hitting 20% ram usage on 6 shards(per node). So judging from my experience, if you're looking for something that can host bigger than 3x3 then i'd look for more ram.
