Given both the demand and AMD/TSMC’s apparently higher than expected yield. You don’t really want to cut down working dies, so if their yield is high then there’s less silicon to turn into those cut down cheaper models

From what I heard, AMD essentially makes few variants of CCXes then bins them and based on bins sells them as different models, mixing and matching in order to increase total yield.
