Read the spec sheet... 6 channels per socket (2 controllers with 3 lanes each), 8 sockets, and 64 GB LR DIMMs. 128 DIMMs are $2-3k a pop. 192 sockets, 8 way, up to 24TB of ram w 128GB or 12TB with 64GB sticks: https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/7U/7088/SYS-7088B-TR4FT.cfm https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/7U/7088/SYS-7088B...
