Virtualization, container’s, databases to name a few. Mostly hobby though. But I do not need a thread ripper. It would be nice but the huge price jump is not worth it. Unfortunately HEDT is dead.
I’m not sure - I don’t measure it. It’s in my home server running Linux. It does everything I want and is >90% idle most of the time - so it’s fast enough. And I just realized I lied in my original comment - my laptop has DDR4 RAM, but it’s already at max. capacity so I won’t have to worry about buying more.
Shouldn’t be a problem for me - I plan to skip DDR4 and go straight to DDR5, or maybe what comes after, at some point. Still running 32GB DDR3 here.
I am in the same boat. I am waiting for a CPU that properly handles more then 128gb of memory while not costing 5 grand.
What kind of tasks do you do that require over one hundred gigabytes of RAM? Just curious. Video editing?

What kind of speeds you get on that old DDR3?
