Re:Intel completely disables AVX-512 on Alder Lake after all by ineedasername on Friday January 07, 2022 @02:22PM (#29843522)
Didn't AMD disable cores on chips that were enabled and the exact same chips branded higher end? [0]

I know the explanation in some cases were that they didn't pass QC, but I also never came across stories of widespread problems when these cores were reenabled by end users.

If Intel is playing games here, I'm not sure they're unique to Intel.
