The problem here is that at least for some parameters we actually don't know which formats are actually used. The following are not real world examples, but just to explain the general problem. The memory configuration for example can be not ASIC specific, but rather determined by whoever took the ASIC and glued it together with VRAM on a board. It is not likely that somebody puts all the VRAM chips on one channel, but it is still perfectly possible. Same is true for things like harvesting, e.g. of 16 channels halve of them could be bad and we need to know which to actually use.
