    This is because it’s the first client processor to be made using chiplets instead of a monolithic design.

    Wasn’t AMD already using chiplets for their CPUs?

      For years. 2017 if you argue the separate CCXs in Zen1 Threadripper to be chiplets.

      2019 with Zen2 if you’re not counting that.

      AMD is pretty ahead of everyone when it comes to packaging tech.
