nVidia scales these chips upwards and downwards depending on market or segment. Doesn't mean it's customized, just binned differently. (Or die harvested.)

The fact that this is the only chip that contains 8-cores on a single cluster suggests it's not simply product binning. 

They could deactivate 1 core and only use 7.

Didn't Sony had 1 core deactivated in the PS3? Apple also had 7 cores for the first M1 Macbook Air and 8 for the later models
