Is there an Intel CPU scaling issue (non-linear performance), when using more than 4 sockets Intel CPU with Linux? If 'yes', then what are the background technical reasons for the non-linear scaling beyond 4 sockets Intel CPU?
Understand each socket/chip can have many cores, for example 8 corresponding to 32 total cores.
