The number of CPUs (sockets) is usually restricted to a certain number in different operating systems. If the number of CPUs (sockets) exceeds this limit, the CPUs will either be ignored, or the OS may have issues.

See e.g. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/matthts/2012/10/13/windows-server-sockets-logical-processors-sym...
