I've just remembered, that's one of the big differences between
ThreadRipper and EPYC: the EPYC has memory links on all four dies, while
the ThreadRipper 2990WX only has links on half.

From

"With the new processors, we have the situation on the right, where only
some cores are directly attached to memory, and others are not. In order
to go from one of these cores to main memory, it requires an extra hop,
which adds latency. When all the cores are requesting access, this
causes congestion."
