AMD has consistently beaten Intel in cost-per core, but did AMD really need to pursue a chiplet design to make Zen 2 so affordable? New slides from a recent talk at ISSCC show exactly how much the company saved with this approach, and the results are very impressive.

wouldn't this mean Zen 2 mobile (Ryzen 4000) won't be cheap? I mean it's a monolithic design. Probably explain why they have many product segmentation to squeeze every chip they could have.
