Yes, and I would think so, but I can’t verify it until I can see upclose those PCB. I am surprised that many have gone to the show and non snapping pictures of themDo you mean this on the MK1 models?:
Doesn't appear to be on the M2's unless its been replaced by this?:
Manufacturing process
The way that NAND Flash is made can have a dramatic outcome on the performance characteristics.
NAND Flash goes through over 800 different manufacturing processes and it takes around 30 days to make just one wafer (which is the size of a large pizza, typically 300mm in diameter, see image below). NAND factories or ‘FABS’ are huge, run 24/7, 365 days a year for maximum efficiency and are 100 times cleaner than hospital operating theatres. FABS can make different types of NAND Flash (SLC, MLC, 3D - more on that below) and come in different sizes. Some of the largest FABS can make over 100,000 wafers a month.
Once the wafer is divided, or cut into separate chips, these are analysed and graded as 1,2,3 or 4, with 1 being the highest quality. The chips are then shipped to a vendor, such as Kingston Technology, who use the NAND in their own products.
The highest quality chips will have the best performance characteristics and therefore a price premium.
Thank you my friend! An excellent find@Whitigir
There is a quality segregation right at the wafer level for nand chips:

New controllers – new features
One improvement that has resulted from the additional requirements demanded from modern 3D NAND controllers is End-to-End data path protection or E2E DP. In older controllers, the internal RAM for the page buffers, the data path between the different units, and the DRAM content were not protected against bit fails (for example as a result of radiation or alpha particles).
Undetected data corruption poses a high risk because it can lead to incorrect settings or wrong results. An undetected single bit fails could cause significant financial or even physical damage were it to happen with bank transactions, medical treatments, or robot control.
The latest controllers protect all data paths with parities. All buffer areas and DRAM content are secured by ECC (Error Correction Code).
Errors no longer go undetected, and in most cases rejecting and repeating a write command or marking the read data as defective can prevent further processing of the incorrect data.
Have they not been using the same as M1 ? They probably didn’t market it or advertised it
Seems like Sony use of gold vapour deposition does have scientific backing:
This paper investigated the effect of electrode materials on the performance of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors by means of theoretical calculation, experiment, and finite element analysis methods. First, we calculated the particle displacement amplitude and thus obtained the mass sensitivity function distribution of QCMs with gold, silver and aluminum electrodes, and found that the QCM with the gold electrode has the highest mass sensitivity at the center of the electrode. Then, we tested the humidity-sensing performance of QCMs with gold, silver, and aluminum electrodes using graphene oxide (GO) as the sensitive material, and found that the QCM with the gold electrode has higher humidity sensitivity.

I put in an order on 23/3/22. I am sketical that it will be on schedule, currently 26/4Anyone else in Australia is preordering? The current expected delivery time is 26 April. Curious if it will be accurate
I have already received notification that its been delayed. 3/5 now - im still being skeptical with this dateI am sketical that it will be on schedule, currently 26/4
Nice case…a few days ago I preordered the 1AM2 from Audio46 and they still have no estimated arrival date. They did tell me that they ordered 100 but weren’t sure how many they would actually receive. Just passing along some info.
