Ridiculous core counts typically find workloads that saturate the memory controller or I/O, which is why so few are made. They typically bring with them a non-uniform memory space, cache-incoherent/rings, etc. All of that makes software teams groan and decide to spend a few thousand USD on a multi-socket Xeon or a GPU.
I'm happy with mine.
