Why do servers usually use a lot of ram but not so much cpu?

Currently playing around with virtualisation, and most of my virtual machines eat ram like candy but will barely touch cpu cores.

Servers don’t necessarily use a lot of ram, virtualization does. A lot of servers have tons of ram because they work with huge data sets and they just need a lot of ram to be able to load them. A server is just a computer at the end of the day, the specs depend on what you’re trying to do with it.
