amd lottery cores: what?

[CrayonMuncher]

i just read that amd are launching a new strategy for its cpus that will be intially trialled in the ukit seems to be based around a concept called lottery cores which seems to mean
" the number of functional cores in each part left for the customer to discover "

the link also says that if you get 10 or more cores your a winner and if you have no functional cores you'll have to roll again what does this mean? anyone know
