- 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.
