Mickey: Does setting affinity for cores in task manager make AMD Threadripper gamemode...

As far as I can tell, gamemode and disabling SMT for better gaming performance basically results in locking down half the cores on the CPU. Wouldn't simply only allowing the application to use 8 or 16 threads via task manager set affinity bypass that issue and make it so you don't lose those threads for other applications, or am I mistaken? If so, wouldn't that effectively render gamemode irrelevant? Or am I mistaken on how setting affinity works?
