This must be cheap to make. Maximum of 4x Zen4c chiplets, arranged around the four corners of the I/O die, I assume.

I think the chiplets are arranged more like two on one side and two on the other.

Yes, these applications are more price sensitive than HPC and general datacenter applications, so price points would (should) be a little lower than their full-fat Zen 4 counterparts.

I dont really get it. Zen4c is way more compact in die area. If the normal 9000 series already consist 96core version, here a 128 core version is just a no brainer. Maybe even a 160 core is fitting. Where are those?
