FreeBSD 9.0 and 4-socket Intel XEON E7-4870 system -->> 80 logical CPUs

   Watching the ncpu number, I realized that FreeBSD is limited to 64
   processors.
   Some vendors offer now 4-socket Intel Xeon E7-4870 systems. This
   "Westmere"
   based CPU has 10 physical  and 20 logical cores, summa summarum 80
   cores.
   Is FreeBSD 9.0 capable of handling such a server?
