CPU Z shows a Snapdragon 615 and not 617?

On CPU-Z it says my phone has a Snapdragon 615 SoC and not the 617 Moto advertises. In another app it gave a MSM model number and that showed up as a SD617... Which one is correct?

617. They are essentially the same chip minus the clock speeds. The g4 plus has the s617. Here is a comparison of the chips Snapdragon 615 (MSM8939) vs Snapdragon 617 (MSM8952) – performance, benchmarks and temperatures

I know it has a 617 it's just strange that CPU-Z shows it as a 615.

Good point, though, according to the comparisons on the link posted above, the 1.52 GHz clock speed shown below matches what the link's site shows for the 617. It does beg the question, however.

Just like using arm apks instead of arm64s on a 64 bit device...go figure...

See that's always confused me. When I go to download a Google APK arm64 doesn't work on what I assume to be an ARM64 CPU.
