Here one box with single socket  with an AMD EPYC 7551P
on H11SSL-NC mobo running kernel 4.16.10:

...
[    0.000000] smpboot: Allowing 128 CPUs, 64 hotplug CPUs
[    0.030000] smpboot: CPU0: AMD EPYC 7551P 32-Core Processor
(family: 0x17, model: 0x1, stepping: 0x2)
[    0.545084] smpboot: Max logical packages: 2
[    0.545084] smpboot: Total of 64 processors activated (255989.37 BogoMIPS)
...

128CPUs for sure not possible and for sure no way to have '2' CPUs installed.
