Yes, some DIMM configurations are easier to find now, but when Threadripper was first released they were all but impossible to source.
However, even if 16GB and 32GB are easy to find, that won't let you get anywhere near the 1TB limit of the first systems to ship or the technical limit of 2TB as other posters pointed out.
It's just not realistic to equate the two as equal -- these new systems are definitely going to unlock use cases that aren't possible with the regular Threadripper.

- binarycrusader 6y agoEarly on there were claims from some that 64GB UDIMMs would work when they existed or would be supported when they did. But yes, I agree otherwise. I seem to recall spotting some special order 64GB UDIMMs recently (for sampling only at OEM level).
