Anything that can fit e.g. the Xeon Platinum 8180M (https://ark.intel.com/products/120498/Intel-Xeon-Platinum-81...), which supports up to 1.5TB (!) RAM - link two of these on one board and you get 3TB RAM support.

As for the RAM itself - take 12 DDR4 128GB modules, for example https://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/crucial-lrdimm-kit-128gb... , and fit them into three channels of four modules each to get 1536 MB.

The Super Micro SuperServer 8048B-TR4FT lists that it supports up to 12TB DDR4 ECC RAM (which could have 4xE7-8890v4 for 96 cores / 192 threads). And the 7088B-TR4FT lists that it supports up to 24TB DDR4 ETC RAM (with a corresponding 192 cores / 384 threads).

24 slots x 64GB per slot is 1.5 TB. HP recently announced a workstation that supports up to 3 TB of RAM

It's virtual, so it's up in the air. What motherboard supports 96 CPUs?

vCPU == cores. 2 Xeon Platinum 8180 get you 114 vCPUs.
