I think manufacturers don't consider this relevant info, they sell
features, not the underlying spec. This allows them to chop and change
what chip is actually in a device depending on the vagaries of their
supply chain. Eg, Rev A, Rev B might be precisely the same packaging
but different chips underneath.
Suck for non Windows users, I agree.
