Re: Computer architects leaving Intel...

Definitely - if you have 512 GB DDR5 memory in your workstation, the
cost of the CPU itself is a relatively small fraction.

Reality check:
EUR
2400 =8*300 8*64GB MTC40F2046S1RC48BA1R Micron RDIMM 64GB, DDR5-4800
9300 AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX 96C boxed

The Intel side is a little cheaper, but also offers fewer cores:

4100 Intel Xeon w9-3475X, 36C boxed
6800 Intel Xeon w9-3495X, 56C tray

In any case, all three CPUs are significantly more expensive than
512GB of RAM.
