IBM i support for Power 795
IBM i 6.1 with 6.1.1 machine code and IBM i 7.1 are now supported on the 16-
core through 256-core Power 795, enabling growth for enterprise clients. IBM i
supports up to 32 cores in a single partition. IBM Lab Services can be
contacted for
an offering to grow beyond 32 cores in a single partition.
And according to this, 64 is the most you can get:

a special PRPQ will only let it span 64 cores and 256 threads.
