My gut feeling is that Intel also lays out / develops IO block and cores seperately. It's just that they are all put on single silicon.



But separate silicon is what gives AMD an almost insurmountable cost advantage. They can bin each chiplet separately, their yields are much higher because each die is smaller and the cherry on top is the different, cheaper process for the I/O die.
