Fun fact: a lot of user benchmarks of Ryzen Threadripper have lower averages than standard performance. For example passmark and userbench. This is because many are running TR with just 2 dimms rather than 4 dimms. This basically reduces performance by +20%. I almost think that AMD should have just not made TR work in this case because the lower than accurate benchmarks hurt then.
I do not know exactly why it has this performance characteristic but I've witnessed it first hand. It is very ease to reproduce with Passmark on Windows.
