10 years ago the fastest BE machines that were practical were then-ten year old powermacs. This hasn’t really changed. I guess they’re more expensive now.

e6500/T4240 are faster than powermacs. Not sure how rare they are nowadays, we didn't have any trouble buying some (on eBay). 12×2 cores, 48GB RAM, for BE that's essentially heaven…
