I'm pretty sure they're all identical chips. No doubt there are clocking differences. But that may be automatic based on thermals and not actually represent a difference in the actual chip.

It probably has 8 cores, just that one failed and they disabled it. Making CPUs is expensive and a faulty process.

A lot of CPU given any release is the same high end CPU with faulty cores disabled.
