I believe Intel is on track to do it again.
I mean, they never stopped, did they? This is what chip binning is and for chips, it makes a lot of economical and even ecological sense (since a chip where the yield is such that only 6/8 cores function properly can be sold as a lower-tier product without issue instead of being scrapped, for example)
It's also what made overclocking so popular.
Unless you and GP are referring to something else, of course. Wouldn't put it past Intel to be nefarious ๐
I read an article recently that talked about enabling and disabling cores on the fly.
I think chip binning is perfectly reasonable.
