Localization tells the story
Only available in East, bin selected processors...this is a FinTech play. Interesting hardware specs have been known to happen in the world of algo-trading.
And scale up makes perfect sense if your data is a single stream - like a stock ticker. Ive seen systems that could run 1 core much, much faster than anything visible on Intels webpage. They came in special system builds not generally advertised and long, long series of instructions about how long they could be run and how much cooling needed to be delivered. One server might be 10x the price of something that appeared to be similar on paper if not for the bin selected processor...and pay for itself within a few days of being deployed. After that, it's just power bills and profit.
