Kinda OT question, but rather interesting.
That's a tough one.
Probably only someone who actually bought and uses these "52X rated" pastels, and checks the ATIP, can give an answer. Unless
Dakhaas or another of our "experts" already knows what's behind this.
My thoughts:
On one hand, it sound nonsensical that these are the same model, as a burner firmware will show fixed available buring speeds for a given ATIP.
Same ATIP = no change in available speeds in burner's firmware.
Higher available speeds in burner's firmware => different ATIP.
On the other hand, maybe some recent burner's firmwares include a higher available burning speed for the current ATIP, so Verbatim decided for marketing reasons to sell these as 52X rated, though many burners will only allow 48X (or even slower) in actuality. This has been the case for many CDR models with a given ATIP, that have been first sold as 24X rated, then little by little up to 48X rated with each new burners lines.
Or it could be mislabelling, indeed.
