Can an OS utilize all 4 nodes (4 x 2(22 core) CPUs=176 cores) in a server rack like C6320?

Question

Are the 4 nodes in the C6320 utilized as 4 different sets of CPUs in a hypervisor?Or can they be all used under one OS?

Can all of them being used in a 22 x 8 = 176 core system in say Windows?

8 socket x86 systems exist, but that Dell is not one of them. — John Mahowald, Dec 21 '16 at 19:36
