I think there are AMD chips with twice as many cores as the Intel ones, so this kinda makes sense.

Epyc is also vastly ahead of Xeon in terms of number of PCIe lanes provided, which can be critical in many applications.

Probably depends on the tier of processor too. Not all servers probably need 10k 64/128core CPUs.
