. People haven't had any qualms about buying chips with lower levels of cache, which have often been chips with parts of larger cache disabled due to defects.

And how many of those people do you think REALIZE that's what they're buying?

The TC problem is that *all* of them would be QC parts with one core defective/disabled, and so they are all tarred with the "salvaged" label.
