Exactly. 5700X3D is perhaps a faulty batch of 5800X3D's to begin with in the first place.

The engineering team does have tools to simply fuse off certain elements inside a CPU. So also the amount of cores, cache and what more. Nothing gets wasted in the world of silicon. Perhaps we're getting a 3 Core 6 Thread X3D CPU in return that we can unlock to a fully working 4 core 8 thread X3D variant. Lmao.
