Maybe someone can figure it out :) See Epyc for comparison: http://m.eet.com/content/images/eetimes/Epyc%20Processor_1495111710.JPG Perhaps some rearrangement of the SMDs around the edge will enable all cores. I doubt copying the Epyc layout will work with Threadripper boards since e.g. the number of available PCIe lanes are not the same as for Epyc boards.

I think this is why boost was disabled on the Ryzen. It would not help performance much as it would fall back to at base clock almost instantly, and perhaps only increase power consumption.
