32 cores and 128GB RAM are now desktop-class specs. Latest generation commodity servers can supply you with hundreds of cores and TBs of RAM. Note: "commodity" != "cheap", at least not necessarily.
Ninja edit before anyone misconstrues this. I am not saying that the typical desktop has these specs. I am saying that the class of hardware that is most commonly run on desktops includes SKUs that can meet this spec. Desktop-class means the same motherboard socket and processor architecture.
