Increasing the physical CPU count can (and probably will) result in performance degradation. However, from what I've seen, balancing IRQs across the cores on a single physical CPU seems to help. I am curious as well, as to how you achieved 7 Mpps. Can you share the system specs, the patches and tuning?
