Much less likely than just selling enterprise features, which is particularly common for networking companies selling stuff like ports "on demand". The trend is towards a lot more accelerators and specialty features (AXV512, AMX, HBM-related), which aren't going to have universal demand, charging for them separately might allow for fewer SKUs (lower unit costs) without charging everyone for features they don't want.
Considering the consumer market at a CPU level makes very little sense, almost everyone just buys a device manufactured by an intermediate company.
