Datacenter GPU dies cannot be binned for Geforce because they lack fixed function graphics features. Raytracing acceleration in particular must be non-trivial area that you wouldn't want to spend on a datacenter die. Not to mention the data fabric is probably pretty different.

The A40, L40S and Blackwell 6000 Pro Server have RT cores. 3 datacenter GPUs.

If you want binning in action, the RTX ones other than the top ones, are it. Look for the A30 too, of which I was surprised there was no successor. Either they had better yields on Hopper or they didn't get enough from the A30...

I’m not saying their binning between data center and 3060s, but within gaming and between gaming and RTX Pro cards, there’s binning.

As you cut SMs from a die you move from the 3090 down the stack, for instance. That’s yield management right there.
