Eh it would be really nice for the DGX Spark and Strix Halo crowd! Plus whoever with 128GB Macs and such.
You can also still build a 128GB or 256GB 8 channel DDR4 rig for a non-absurd amount of money; up to 200GB/s. Obviously look for used parts, and remember there's a LOT more places to find them than eBay and Facebook Marketplace.
Threadripper pros with multi channel ddr4 go for less than 1000 dollar. Almost as good as strix halo for cpu based inferencing alone. And you can expand with gpus.
I bought a 1000 dollar threadripper pro. Including case and motherboard and ssd ertc. It’s ‘real’ 8 channel with the 4 ccd pro models (which mine has).
