1. Remember that "bad" GPU dies are still usable; they disable the defective cores. 2. If CoWoS is the bottleneck the rest doesn't matter as much.

- thrtythreeforty 3y ago1. Maybe. Depends on how much design-for-yield they did. A GPU is good for this vs other ASICs because it has lots of copies of the same blocks. 2. Still reduces cost per die which, at these package sizes, is significant.
- ksec 3y ago>they disable the defective cores. Exactly. Especially on GPU. It is not like CoWoS is free either. But it means AMD is more flexible with its product strategy.
