If it offers the same performance, there is no reason for it to be.

It sounds to me like they are using high bin GDDR6 instead of standard bin GDDR6x top achieve similar memory bandwidth.

Testing will have to determine if that actually is the case.

I hate it when companies release the same product name with different specs, and this is no different. There should never be any ambiguity to what you are actually getting when you go shopping.
