I just cant imagine they could magically increase the DR as much as we hoped with a firmware update, and the hardware has to have been finalized some time ago.
About the only thing that comes to mind for me is if the new sensor is using a somewhat diff color array, but the firmware of the pre-production model isn't the ideal match for it.
I can't recall the image, but it seemed that the color of the noise of the 6D2 was not nearly so RGB oriented with that heavy blue that we're accustomed to seeing, i.e. it seemed more a muted lime & magenta oriented. Here's an article regarding CFA color choices.
About the only way I can hypothetically reconcile "new sensor of 5D4 generation" with DR performance of yore is a mismatch between the firmware and the CFA in the pre-production model ... and production models then receiving the firmware better suited to the CFA.
Speculation of course, but something just doesn't seem to add up about new sensor performing like old sensor. Soon, we'll see. Till then ... we ponder.
