I'm using a dual xenon @3GHz with 512GB ram for amd64 poudriere builds.
This has hyperthreading turned *off* in both the bios and in /boot/loader.conf
[machdep.hyperthreading_allowed="0"] so ncpu=16

Some tips, learned over time, to not run out of resources in this context:

PARALLEL_JOBS=3 # this appears to help avoid conflicts, and gives appreciable speedups.
ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS=yes
MAX_FILES=8192

MUTUALLY_EXCLUSIVE_BUILD_PACKAGES="irid* llvm* rust* gcc* electr* libre* firef* npm* node* nerd* qt* ghc webkit*" # this also helps avoid conflicts

TMPFS_BLACKLIST_TMPDIR is *commented out*

Hope this helps,
