That class of processor has fairly limited memory bandwidth. An E5 v3 or greater should get you what you want, although finding a system that makes good use of available PCIe lanes with a single socket configuration can sometimes be maddening. AMD may have a variety of nice parts for this application, although I don’t have any personal experience with routing on such hardware. Probably equally important is the NICs, I’d go with Chelsio T5 or Mellanox ConnectX 4 Lx or greater.
