Yes, some servers support Intel i-series CPUs. With two i3 chips you can achieve around eight cores, which may help reach performance targets.

These aren't regular consumer chips. Consumer CPUs, such as the Core line, lack dual socket support.

Old server boards and chips are relatively affordable and often seen as a solid budget choice. I haven’t delved into it much, but do you think you could locate used Xeon chips within that price range?

It might still cost more than simply purchasing an 8-core CPU, as the motherboard could render those savings ineffective due to its limited availability.

Socket 1366 is the most sensible option for dual sockets and offers a reasonable price point.
