Also gives them a lot of flexibility with binning which should give them excellent yields.
The ones that don't have full 8 (well enough) working cores just use them for 5600X (6 core) or 5900X (12 cores) if there is 6 or 7 good cores.
The fully working chiplets you can bin for 5800X or 5950X (or for threadripper/Epyc for the very best ones)
- maximilianburke 6y agoAdditionally the I/O die on the Ryzen chiplets also gets reused as the X570 chipset, also I believe based on binning.
- bcrl 6y agoBonus: AMD satisfies their contract with Global Foundries by including one I/O die manufactured by GF with every CPU sold.
- fomine3 6y agoIntel also uses chip with defected cores for lower core SKUs.
- doikor 6y agoYes but Intel can't take 2 (or 4 or 8 or whatever number you want) of defective parts and sell it as a high end part. AMD can make a 5900X or a Threadripper/Epyc out of 6 core chiplets "defective". As Intel chips are one big monolithic designs they can't make a 6 core consumer desktop CPU out of a broken 24 or 28 core Xenon chip.
