Manufacturers use a process called binning where a chip must meet certain criteria to become a class of chip such as an i5, i7, etc. Sometimes the chip still meets the criteria to become a certain chip but it is on the low side of the qualifications. Normal performance will not be affected, but anything extra such as overclocking may be impacted and is just the luck of the lottery.
