Depends on what the users are doing, there is a big difference between 

A) One user is downloading an ISO file = 1 Gbps (max bandwidth)
B) 10 000 users are downloading many different ISO files = 1 Gbps (max bandwidth) 

12 Cores are only useful with workers 

So a single server can handle 1 Gbps yes, but ...
