Compiling and linking large projects can easily eat 4gb per core, so if there are 8+cores you need more than 32gb of ram.
I don’t think you need 64gb, my experience (on a 32gb machine) makes me think you need maybe 5gb per core to be safe from swapping, but presumably doubling is easier/faster than increasing in non 2^^x amounts.
