@wolf480pl @lispi314 @mikoto like, for CPUs, the lower you go down the tier list, the less sense the SKUs make rationally

for example it's well-known that when Ryzen 3000 launched, the yield rate was so good that they actually had to deliberately cripple healthy dies to meet demand for 6-core chiplets
which means that anything with less than 6 cores should never have existed, yet they sold quad cores and other weird configurations anyway

and of course, the actual production cost of those chips is only a fraction of the retail price, and it certainly doesn't justify the roughly linear scaling of the price with specs
