Which means meeting demand. They will label a chip as a lower spec than it *could* be run at if that's what they are short of. This is particularly common as a plant gets into full swing and produces very few of the lower spec devices because it yields large amounts of hi- spec. This sort of thing has been going on in the semiconductor industry for decades. -- Oz
