Depends on how many you order and how reasonable the customization is. Like, what if I wanted a 10,000 38 core Xeons with a 2.5GHz Base clock and 3.5GHz Turbo clock? Such a part doesn't exist, yet sits smack dab between two existing Models, the Xeon Platnium 8368 and 8368Q. Assuming yields are already good enough, that might be the sort of thing a CPU maker will do. (Might need more than 10k units though, IDK.)
