This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I have a 96 core one. While it'll be fine as a desktop for compiling I'd stick with an AMD system.
The devkit has 6 memory channels, and you'll want to fill them all - there's a surprisingly high performance penalty if you don't. Even then, compiling a code base which could be spread over hundreds of cores is still significantly slower on the ampere compared to my old 3970x.
