i am not a math genious and i am talking about for example serving 10.000 unicast streams and 10.000 multicast streams would the multicast streams more efficient or lets say , would you need more machines to server 10.000 unicast streams ?
For 10000 concurrent unicast streams you'd need not just more servers. You'd need a significantly different network infrastructure than something that would have to handle only a single multicast stream. But supporting multicast isn't without it's own problems either. Even the destination networks would have to consider implementing IGMP and/or MLD snooping in their layer 2 devices to obtain maximum benefit from multicast.
