£3.5k for a cpu - " such incredible value for money"

Really? Lol

To get less cores and about two thirds of the 3990X performance from Intel, you'd need to spend about 20 grand on two of their top end data centre CPUs.

Compared to the available alternatives for similar performance, the 3990X is a bargain. It is not for gamers, it's for people who need very high performance right at their desktop, usually some kind of rendering (such as real time) or content creation.

Agreed, context is everything.

But no company does this, a company wanting a machine to render wants the most powerful machine they can buy with huge memory support. We have a client who already has us testing 3990X with 128MB modules as they are interested in 3990X with 1TB of RAM. One big powerful PC is more efficient than 5 or 8 separate systems and cheaper too.

Gibbo - you / they should know though it only supports 256GB mem.... (max)

Thats because they dont want to cannibalise EPYC where you can scale higher. If you need a lot of memory and cores (EG VMware) you need Epyc, this is not a high memory solution.
 
The motherboards and the cpu are not what's constraining the memory capacity.... Larger capacity modules are the problem... of the correct type. 2tb is possible no issue when the correct dimms are available.

you could build 5 x Ryzen 3900 12 core, though that would still make it short on core count, perfect match would be 8 x 3700X

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £3,277.45 (includes shipping: £12.60)
​

then add in 5-8 worth of software, Drives , PSU, GPUs... all adds up more and more power

Cool. Now, go invent software that seamlessly uses distributed computing to achieve a multitude of processing requirements, customer dependent. Oh, and pay the customer's increased leccy bills whilst you're at it.

You missed the whole point of the point.. oh back, relax and read... Correctly.... .

Someone was on about the high cost of the CPU, stating it's not worth the high price. My post was stating that if you split the cost into multiple builds, you'd be down in core count and increased software expenses ....

Please invent good reading abilities and common sense

For a number of companies and people the CPU (3990x) is a godsend. Think of all that time employees waste waiting for jobs to finish rendering now that workstation is freed up to do other jobs.
