I'm looking at putting together 4 3 server clusters for some smallish VmWare clusters in the near future. My boss wanted a server quote so I gave him 2. 1 for Intel 24 core based CPU solution and 1 for EPYC 24 core based solution. It looked good until memory. The damn ram for the AMD solution was 1000 dollars PER 32 gig stick!!! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME! That makes the AMD server cost 10k more per box than the Intel solution. I can't justify that. (ESXi hosts with 784 gig of ram each.)
AMD you really need to get in the ring and help drive down these memory costs for your enterprise customers.
