I can tell you why I just choose a dual Xeon workstation over a thread ripper, despite it being considerably more expensive for lower performance: memory. The threadripper motherboards apparently max out at 256 GB of ram. I put 1 TB on the Xeon machine and could have gone higher if I needed it.
It is really too bad, but 64 cores with a max of 256 GB is super unbalanced.
