"For example, since Intel's Ice Lake/Willow Cove cores were originally developed for the company's second generation 10 nm manufacturing technology, Intel has never ported its Ice Lake-SP CPU to a more advanced 10 nm SuperFin process. "

Intel built Willow Cove with 10nm SuperFin, so why is it included in this statement?

Ice Lake used Sunny Cove.

"The latest unofficial details about Intel's fourth Generation Xeon Scalable "Sapphire Rapids" indicate that the CPUs could have 72 to 80 cores, a significant increase when compared to today's third Generation Xeon Scalable 'Ice Lake-SP' processors that have up to 40 cores."

The unofficial Sapphire Rapids details also show 4 tiles ... so 20 cores per tile is a significant decrease from the monolithic Ice Lake 40 core.

20 core tile or chiplets are way cheaper to make than a monolithic die, yield is also much higher. Thats also why AMD stick with 8 cores per die rather than a single 64 core die.
