It isn't, but at a long arm's reach it doesn't sound isn't particularly
interesting, either.

What it indicates to me is fabs are binning 80% or better to the faster
performance spec now, which is well above the level required to support simply
killing the original performance bin parts, after using a few months further
production to close supply contracts and provide for end-of-life buys...

Sounds to me like it's about SKUs and keeping distributors "informed".
