R410a is a mixture of R32 and R125. The R125 greatly increases the GWP and slightly decreases the efficiency. There was a claim that it reduces the cost in order to make R410a cost competitive with R22 but that's debunked as R32 is actually cheaper than R125. I'm sure the real reason is to raise the GWP in order to allow them an excuse to phase it out once the patents expire!
