I wouldn't call it truly scalable. All they did was add a revised interconnect and redesign the paths each core communicates with each other. It's still essentially the same thing they have now, if you want a more/less powerful cpu, you need to disable cores. It's not like Ryzen where they can quite literally remove a whole CCX and the CPU still functions properly or in the EPYC case, they just add more CCX's on a die. Intel is still in a 2 Dimensional phase per say compared to AMD, and no don't take that literally. It was the best comparison I could think of to describe it atm...
Not saying it's not impressive, but them saying it is entirely scalable is purely a marketing thing. It's a step in the right direction, modular micro architecture's seem to be the best way forward to keep up with Moore's Law until we are able to use a different material composition since Silicon is at it's limits.
