I edited my answer to indicate that current gen 3.06TB RAM supporting CPUs are not out (yet?)

Right, which is why the current generation is limited to 12TiB for 8S systems, compared to 24TiB for the generation you quoted.

Even previous gen, if 12TiB main memory is your goal (NUMA concerns aside), it's probably worth going for the 8S system instead of the 4S one, since that's a savings of $144k, and 8 slower/fewer-core CPUs might even be cheaper than 4 that have twice the performance.
