As an example, I have a Dell R620 sitting behind me (among lots of other stuff,) it has 20 cores and 128GB of RAM. It's loud. It's hot. It's powerful and awesome. I bought it for $400 refurbished. It's sitting in a nice rack. I use it for VMs.
I have a stack of 10 RPI4's in a case on my left, a lot smaller. Deadly quiet. That's 40 cores and 80GB of RAM. Not loud at all. Bought them for $75 each. I use them as physical hosts for a number of things.
I treat them the same. General compute. One cluster is more convenient than the other.
