People are acting like this is being implemented in consumer CPUs. I don't see any indication of that. This is likely for people who need powerful on-site compute, but can't afford (or don't yet need) the most powerful version of Intel CPUs. This is a way to shave down the price tag, by letting people buy the most powerful CPU, but restricting it down to what you actually need/can afford, so Intel can sell it to you at a subsidized discount.
