True in theory, when scattering threads across CCDs. In order to actually see this, quite a bit of effort would be necessary, in order to reduce run-to-run variance.
Additionally, with this many...

Everything else about the benchmark case being equal, scaling can't really get worse with higher cell count.

Part of the reason you see worse scaling with your system is the faster single-core time you got. For a more intuitive comparison, I would recommend scaling both results by the same single-core...

9554 should be a 64-core part.
It's the 96-core 9654 that has a 49% advantage in this benchmark. It's only a 28% increase for the 64-core comparison.
Or if we want to leave 3D v-cache out of the...

It's less about scaling, and more "performance per core".
The added L3 cache give a performance uplift at all thread counts, and thus won't allow better scaling beyond 32 cores.
