Is that true? Intel's 14nm yields are high enough that it wouldnt really make sense for the dirt cheap quad core processors to secretly be 8 core processors with half the cores (and cache) disabled.

I think for the current gen parts, the quad core parts are actually six core dies with two disabled. the overall point stands though.
