>(12 sticks isn't superior to 24; actually, 24 is theoretically better because it is more parallelized, but only if the processors and system bus can handle the full theoretical bandwidth of that much memory...) The hexa-channel DDR4 used by these systems doesn't improve in bandwidth past 6 channels. The Dell has 4 sticks on each channel to address(through the Register chip which adds additional latency), Apple has 2 sticks on each channel and apparently isn't used registered DIMMs which means it should be faster.
