Needing to manufacture and assemble several components in this fashion must be awful for yields. I'd imagine AMDs chiplet process is much more forgiving.

This type of design seems very unforgiving to defects. I think the only place they can get away with a bad core is in the GPU portion.

Mind you it’s pretty small at 82mm^2.
