Some RTX 5090s are shipping with missing ROP units, leading to less gaming performance: Report
5-8% slower than other 5090 models.

If the spec does not follow the expectations, I assume they have to recall those. Right? If not, someone is asking for an official recall and get their rears destroyed.
Happened in the past already, and was solved with a vBIOS update. It will probably be the same here, unless the parts were really lasered off or something.
So in this case, the rop were not detected because of firmware? Strange, but at least would be solvable. Let's see if this situation for the 5090 is the same
This is just speculation on my part, but I guess they are detected, but the firmware just doesn't use all of them. I think the chips are all a bit different, with different defects, parts removed, and stuff like that.
That is for sure true. And this variance that creates the "binning lottery" people talk about (and why there is some people that will pay premium for specific high binned parts)
