Step up to Epyc processors if you need memory, which is the competitor to the Xeon. Threadripper is for enthusiasts, not specifically for servers.

- jmt_ 7y agoThanks, I'm much less familiar with AMD product lines and didn't know about EPYC.
- JohnTHaller 7y agoEPYC supports up to 4TB of RAM. Here's Linus having fun with one back in September. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuLsrr79-Pw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuLsrr79-Pw
- tyxodiwktis 7y agoI clicked that link expecting Linus Torvalds and was very confused. The mononym "Linus" is already taken :-) It would be very exciting to see Linus Torvalds playing with giant amounts of RAM but sadly he doesn't seem to make a lot of videos like that.
- JohnTHaller 7y agoIf you're talking operating systems, it's Linus Torvalds. If you're talking tech videos, it's Linus Sebastian. Linus Media Group gets a lot of the cool hardware first and often makes a point of getting some unofficially to mess with it in ways they're not supposed to.
