You can always separate the chip into smaller cores and disable the ones that don't work.

The tactics works well for GPUs. But for CPUs, you only can do that sometimes, not always.
Cores only make about half of the area. If the error is not in a core but in e.g. RAM controller or IO controller, you have to throw away the complete chip.
