Over on the Windows Server Blog Jeff Woolsey just posted some new information on the hardware scalability enhancements in Windows Server 2016, here's a table that highlights these improvements.

Now I need to go out to our local server partners to see who can loan me a server that pushes these boundaries so that I can share some great screenshots in TaskMan and PerfMon.
