The cores have independent clock trees and PLLs. Half the point of going multi core instead of giant single core in the first place is so that you don't have to route clock lines all over the place.

What you're seeing isn't routing issues, but the fact that their newer process isn't up to snuff, and they don't have the proper yields on larger die sizes.

Like, I've shipped RTL and know pretty well how this stuff works.
