Can you buy non NUMA mainstream CPUs though? Honest question because I’d love to be rid of that BS too

NUMA is an outcome of system configuration. You can make a non-NUMA platform using any CPU. You just limit yourself to 1 CPU socket.

Here's a Facebook engineering blog post about how they left NUMA behind. https://engineering.fb.com/2016/03/09/data-center-engineerin...

Well, not on Epyc generation 1. Those have four NUMA segments in each socket.

Also those Xeon Platinum 9200 processors Intel made as an attention grab.

EPYC Naples wasn't good for much of anything though, so I am trying to forget it.
