The topology of that part is wild, it's physically the same silicon as the 128-core part but they've disabled all but one core on each compute chiplet. 112 cores are switched off to leave just 16 cores with as much cache as possible.

Inter-core latency will be rough since you'll always be hitting the relatively slow inter-chiplet bus, though.
