> so we can compare it to the facts

So we have some info out now: www.anandtech.com/show/11550/the-intel-skylakex-review-core-i9-7900x-i7-7820x-and-i7-7800x-tested/3

From the article:

> Nominally the FMAs on ports 0 and 1 are 256-bit, so in order to drive towards the AVX-512-F these two ports are fused together, similar to how AVX-512-F is implemented in Knights Landing. The six-core and eight-core Skylake-X parts support one fused FMA for AVX-512-F, although the 10-core will support dual 512-bit AVX-512-F ports, which seems to be located on port 5. This means that the 10-core i9-7900X can support 64 SP or 32 DP calculations per cycle, whereas the 8-core/6-core parts can support 32 SP or 16 DP per cycle.

I don't recall Intel ever doing anything similar for product segmentation in the past, so limiting execution ports on cheaper SKUs seems to be a first to me.
Anyway, it sounds like you were on the ball, except that port 5 can also do FMA on higher SKUs, for more FLOPS.
