<p>these are not the actual part numbers because their part numbering system will give you brainrot in and of itself, without this particular issue</p>

<p>i suspect what happened was that they were contractually obligated to ship &quot;PARTNO&quot; (labelled &quot;PARTNO6&quot;) to someone and they couldn&#39;t do it with the die they had due to errata or something, and they didn&#39;t want to respin it to fix the errata, so they just shipped the next generation as &quot;PARTNO&quot; (labelled &quot;PARTNOC6&quot;) and fulfilled their contract this way</p><p>this is pure guesswork though</p>
