Engineering questions about this cross-reference

What are the differences between GD25B16E and W25Q16JV?

Documented differences: Industry-standard SPI NOR pinout (SOP8/USON8/WSON8); most of the command set is compatible; Status-register layout, QE bit default and security-register implementation vary by vendor — verify firmware and production programmer; AC timing and deep-power-down parameters differ; check datasheet before swapping. Review each against your application before committing.

Is GD25B16E a drop-in replacement for W25Q16JV?

GD25B16E is a FUNC-graded engineering-review candidate (functional alternative that may need board or BOM changes). At minimum, review: Industry-standard SPI NOR pinout (SOP8/USON8/WSON8); most of the command set is compatible. Production use requires validation on your board.

What is the difference between P2P, PIN and FUNC grades?

P2P is a documented drop-in candidate, PIN keeps the package and pinout but needs firmware work, and FUNC is functionally similar but may require a board or BOM change.
