AMD has just coughed up their new 3000 series processors, the largest of
which is still an AM4 desktop chip but with 16 cores/32 threads (coming
soon), but with only the normal 2 DDR4 channels. =\
Still, there are 10gbe capable boards, that can probably all take at
least 64gb ram, so these could make awesome little compute nodes without
having to pay server prices.
Boards with 10gE are rather pricey tho: =\

It's trying to put a desktop class chip on a workstation class board,
not dense enough for HPC applications, but OK for gaming...
Personally, I want a full workstation board for my machine here, I
expect X599 class boards to be available early next year.

commodity pricing but excellent compute density...
I'm trying to get HabitatSim running on my other comp, using the
annaconda python distro. It's not going too great, I can't seem to get
all the dependencies installed, still playing with it.
