No, CPUs from the same family typically use different silicon dies.

I was searching for a particular Intel Pentium 4 processor for detailed research. You mentioned needing a specific model like the SL6BD, but can't find it locally without spending a lot on eBay. I wondered if another CPU from the same line, such as the Willamette family SL4SG, would share the same die. Was this assumption accurate? Here’s the reference list you shared from Wikipedia. Thanks for your guidance.
When the family remains consistent and core count stays unchanged, the physical die design must match.
Not always. The Ryzen 3100 and 3300X differ. Each has four cores, but one uses two chips while the other uses one.
From a die-level view, the chiplets match exactly between the two models.
It seems there was some confusion about the design of the components. One part was described as a single chiplet, while another was a two-chiplet version.
It's the same core die for each architecture, but the variations lie in how the chip is stepped and its internal design. This mainly depends on the chip's IMC and cache performance. It involves adjusting the internal circuitry to manage everything inside, which should improve with better design. I'm unsure if actual die variations would appear, but you could compare two chips of the same model with different steps to check for differences.
It seems you're asking about variations in architecture and connections between chips. I can help with that. The connection methods might change from one chip to another, and the best way to understand this is by testing different dies. I'm open to doing more die tests if you'd like. Thanks for your question!
