That'd make a lot of sense given the fact that the CPU isn't much of a bottleneck for game performance these days. I know of a few people that are happily gaming their brains out on Sandy Bridge processors that are paired with relatively modern GPUs. Those days are numbered given the platform advancements and the likely increased utilization of additional CPU cores on the horizon, but the point remains that a modest CPU is sufficient. Gaming on a 32 core Threadripper doesn't make much sense unless you've got some non-game workload that can use the processor and you also happen to play games on the same box since it's already sitting there. Those chips aren't targeting something as pedestrian running the junk in a Steam library.
I still have a Core 2 Quad 6600E that pulls file server/spare game machine duties LOL. It works well enough.
I was just curious if they actually tried to deal with NUMA or just killed the offending clusters. Figured if the former, would be interesting how they did it.

"3D game performance drops in half when moving from 16 core/32 thread CPU to 32 core/64 thread CPU [i.e. Threadripper 2]."Did they just disable the 2 CCX clusters that aren't connected directly to memory?

In PCPers testing, the new driver is still generally outperformed by "1/4 core mode" (i.e. single die operation).NUMA is a real pain.
