Maybe binning. Good chips go into Pro, chips with defects in one of the GPU cores go to Air.

  Sure, but it's kind of a cheap limitation. 6/6 CPU/GPU would make more sense in terms of positioning the different models. Up to .14x faster graphics performance for $250

    Apple doesn't typically expose this kind of thing as an option during sale.

    The Air is fanless so may not have the thermal head room to make good use of 8 GPU cores anyway.
