Mm? maybe you haven't heard of computers :D they can be identical processors but deliver different functions non the less .... Its called 'programming' :D
If you knew about modern ASICs you'd know that customization is built in you can define (adapt) many parameters of the chips behaviour prior to ordering.
The k5 had the same 'chip' as the d7000 but had ISO 80 due to customizing Amp gain based on testing production samples linear zones Vs DR. It also implemented on chip RAW NR that Nikon decided not to engage (probably scared of public backlash)
The D800,D810 and K1 can have identical sensors but different image outcomes based on programming of the sensors parameters and quality of ancillary support chips.
Never the less all will results in similar broad IQ as well depth is constant.
The idea they are 'different hardware' is the marketing trick not the fact they behave differently, it appears your the one whose a pawn of market speel here.!
Its also normal for identical hardware to have different product numbers based on enabled functions/parameters.
Being a tight wad I have been known to modify Intel and AMD Cpu's so they become higher grade processors :) (till they got smart and removed the customization lands off the top of the CPU :( ) (not a good idea if reliability is a concern as they have often failed the higher rating)
