To get rid of all the dies that couldn't hit at least 7700XT performance. With how high yields are at TSMC, they likely had very few dies with more than 6 bad CUs. Now they have enough to make a SKU, this will probably be OEM only. Any die with 40 to 53 functional CUs would have been set aside for this card.

But launching it more than two years after the launch of the RDNA3 GPUs and when AMD has already launched the 9060XTs makes it a difficult product to sell, as Boffer has pointed out.

Furthermore, AMD has the 9060, that is an OEM only GPU, at least for now, which puts this product in an even worse position.  

Companies don't like throwing away something that they can get a return on. They can chuck the dies or put them into card to get something for them.
