The issue was RESOLVED by completely disabling power-saving features in
BIOS on newer Xeon-D boards being shipped by Supermicro.

These are quite a few! I hope this helps someone :-)

Hyper-Threading ALL    [Enable]
Cores Enabled          [0 ALL]
EIST (P-States)        [Enable]
P State Domain         [ALL]
P-State Coordination   [HW_ALL]
Boot Performance Mode  [Max Performance]
Turbo Mode             [Enable]
Enable CPU HWPM        [Disable]
CPU C State            [Disable]
ACPI T-States          [Disable]
Energy Performance Tuning         [Disable]
Energy Performance BIAS Setting   [Performance]
Energy Efficient Turbo            [Disable]
