It’s more expensive, but Zen4 Threadripper Pro is probably the way to go on that front. 8 memory channels, with DIMMs available up to DDR5-7200 for 8x32GB (256GB), or DDR5-6800 for 8x48GB (384GB). It’ll set you back ~$3k for the RAM and ~$6k for a CPU with 8 CCDs (the 7985WX, at least), and then ~$1k for motherboard and however much you want to spend on NVME. Basically ~$10k for a 384GB DDR5 system with ~435GB/s actual bandwidth. Not quite as fast as the 192GB Apple machines, but twice as much memory and more compute for “only” a few thousand more.
is it confirmed that you can get 256gb of vram for that amount? Because my understanding is that digits pricing will start at $3k for some basic config.
