Yes, Intel is the master of market segmentation here. I don't believe for a second that most of their best features just happen to have a high defect rate that warrants setting the kill bit on all the cheaper badges slapped on the common die.
A few years ago, I got a killer deal from AMD. The Phenom II X2 555 BE. In the right motherboard, it would happily attempt to turn the two missing cores back on. If successful, you had a Phenom II X4 955 BE. And so I did. It's still a pretty nice beast - shame it's locked away in storage for the moment. Intel doesn't allow such nice tricks. They'd lose too much money from it. - Jonathan Morton
