>Considering that Threadripper is more similar to a mini cluster than the intel option Not just Threadripper but all AMD Ryzen parts with more than one chiplet per package, as unlike Intel where the die is monolithic and all cores share the same resource pool equally, AMD's chiplet design means there are core complexes of 8 to 2 cores per chiplet in their Ryzen chips, so if the AMD chip has more than one chiplet, then the OS needs to handle the resource allocation between chiplets very accurately otherwise the performance penalty can be huge.
