That would be behind the artificial cap of 4 RDIMM slots :- ) ?
Peak market segmentation, though it's logical and more like thrown bone to the HEDT crowd. Can't complain, they could have just skipped the non-pro stuff totally and everyone would be worse off.
I am bit sad the workstation market is back in the 10 000 Euro build segment like 7-8 years ago, but this come and goes in circles. Everything is expensive now, not much can be done.
1950X/2990WX were peak affordability. 3xxx were peak solid value/performance. 5xxx is not worth mentioning in any way. 7xxx is excellent performer, but back to high prices mostly due to whole package (motherboard + memory).
With everyone on GPUs though nowadays, not much excitement on internet for these chips anymore.
Not many kickass builds in this thread anymore either. Even I am not very excited about cpus, but that is because they've long surpassed my work capability and I am only limited by shitty single-threaded softwares like Max and my own inefficiency.
