(I should clarify I'm not saying the A18pro or some specific chip has 9 cores, I'm just giving an example of binning.) The main thing that gets in my craw is when I've heard someone say "I don't want the binned version", or "the unbinned version has all the working parts". Sure. I respect wanting the best chip. But like in the olden days when you could buy the same chip at 1.8mhz, 1.6mhz, and 1.4mhz? They're all binned. The chip could've been designed to run at 2.4mhz but yields were terrible. So even that top tier chip could be operating below its full potential as an individual chip. Don't say "unbinned chip".
