AMD

It significantly increases the price if you want a large amount of RAM though and doesn't allow you to double the RAM later by just getting another quad channel kit.

Sure, you could say that someone who buys this platform can probably afford it (which would most likely be true), but I still think that these quality of life features aren't too much to ask for at this price. But maybe that's just me mourning the time when HEDT was actually a viable option for enthusiasts.

So, a 5995wx will offer more RAM capacity?

And between a 8ch ddr4 and 4ch ddr5, I'm not sure the ddr5 is always better (ddr4 should beat on bw but not latency which depends on the base freq of RAM).

As soon as you introduce AMD TR in an intel cultivated company, people adopte AMD for their others project/collegue. It is remarkable. So why shot its foot like that AMD? They should have put in place an "advantage" program for targeting pro user who eat RAM. There's a market there.
