AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Specifications Surface

I think it also has to do with "harvesting".
With single core, if core was faulty, that was it.

Yeah. AMD likes to lump that in with "binning" which I find to inaccurate. That started during the Phenom II era which is how we got the infamous Phenom II X3 720. It is now an accepted practice for AMD and Intel to harvest as you say chips that don't live up to spec testing. And while true, I do not believe they are creating segments just to cover some of those chips as their yields have gotten very very good in the last few years.
