The Steam Deck doesn't appear to use that design, it's a different APU (4 core, 8 threads compared to the 8 cores and 16 threads of the ps5), but AMD does put out some defective PS5 chips as a desktop board called the 4700S. There's likely to be a lot more repurposing of slightly out of spec hardware for other consumer devices, but while I may be wrong about this, I think the reason we haven't seen anything like this with the new Xboxes is because they actually just make all the chips targeting the Series X hardware, and those that don't quite make the cut get underclocked, paired with a more compact cooling system, and shipped out as the Series S.
