Rather than CPUs I think these are a much bigger deal for GPUs where memory is much more expensive. I can get 128GB of ram for 300CAD, the same amount in vram would be several grand.

For a second, I was thinking about why you need 300 instances of CAD software and if 128GB isn't a bit too small for that ludicrous amount of computer aided design.
