A quote from the article:
Not that long ago Roman "der8auer" Hartung, a German overclocker, took the IHS off the Threadripper to unveil 4-die configuration exclusive to EPYC processors. Some media outlets were quick to tell us that those two extra dies are dummy dies or structural inserts. In fact, even AMD asked der8auer to take the video down, because he was not using a retail sample at the time. Well, no one could say whether it's true or not because no one was willing to waste expensive CPU just to prove it. As it turns out, those extra dies are not dummy at all....
