What would you say the main reasons for staying with Xeons are for your type of research?

We use Intel MKL in some applications. We just use the BLAS interface, but Intel MKL is generally the fastest BLAS implementation. Obviously, it is optimized for Intel CPUs.

Also, with many vendors it is easier to get >= 768GB RAM 64 core machines using Intel Xeon CPUs.

You could use mir glas[1], which has similar performance[2], but works on (pretty much) any architecture.
