 With the important note that this does not apply to all AMD CPUs. It's a large part of why some prefer the 7800X3D over the 7950X3D.

 Pretty sure they are just more lowish power cores so worst case can be adapted for other workloads. I think some security agents already optionally offload to them

 They are still designed for the task, just that they can still be useful in other ways. Much like GPUs weren't created for mining shitcoins.
