My guess may be that the camera may switch to a faster readout mode, like 12 bits, when shooting the highest frame rate.
Im not tryng to defend Fuji and strangely I see No lies given they clearly shared during Fuji summit - 100 ii has a new 102mp version ii cmos sensor.Translated by G from the Japanese website:
Really, I can't imagine Fuji would deliberately lie here, but who knows.
Or is it a matter of the wrong choice of words causing the confusion ?
Perhaps and hopefully future firmware will provide these claimed benefits.
Kind regards.

Hi,
I agree with your guess. My assumption before the release was that the 100 II used the same physical image sensor, plus optimizations or tweaks using a newer faster processor and accessing extended hardware modes. Previous image processors not able to run the sensor in all of its readout modes, I suppose.
What's your agenda behind those questions? What are you trying to say?
A 12-bit readout will negatively affect IQ at lower ISOs.
IF Fuji does this with a 12-bit readout mode. We just don't know yet.
On GFX 100, a 14-bit readout is twice as fast as a 16-bit readout.
True. I don't know why 2 bits less make it twice as fast, but you're right.
14 bits encode 4 times the amount of data compared to 12 bits. So, you can scan 4 times more data with 12 bits than with 14 bits.
AF readout rates are usually faster than whole sensor rates.
So if the sensor is based on the architect of a Sony A67700/FX30, is it different from the old Gfx100 and gfx100s sensors?
That would work if you measured the cycles precisely enough.
The maximum synch speed is not determined by the readout speed, but by the mechanical shutter.
