Just to note, leaks have happened every gen.
360 block diagram leaked.
I dont remember the timeline about PS3 info TBH.
Last gen people were passing around One and Ps4 specs early on this very board in PM among others I'm sure. Then Vgleaks.com collated those and put them on a website some time later. They turned out to be almost 100% correct despite the same type of doubters you see about leaks today.
Here's another thing about the github leaks, to my knowledge no developer has really stood up and said "this is incorrect". Which likely wouldn't break any NDA's and be easy enough to do. We only have shadowy Klee types, who really wont even say that much.
Another rational thing to think about: There haven't been any consistent rumor of something "other" than Oberon or Arden. Something that has been there throughout and has the credibility of specifics and time. There's only nonspecific "PS5 is better than that, 13TF" or whatever type stuff, without regard to CU's etc except to backwards engineer them to get the number you need.
Really IMO analyzing leaks requires just being rational. Is there a chance these github leaks are wrong? Yes. What would I put that chance at? Very very low, maybe 5%. Maybe on a different day I put it at 10% chance.
What kind of sucks is I let myself get back into these threads with still possibly months to any official spec confirmation. Which could be E3 or later IMO.
Also, if Sony is behind on TF I expect they may not reveal any TF numbers for PS5 officially at all, ever. Par for the course for all platform holders. You dont accentuate what you lack in. Same reason MS doesn't tell you how many Xbox sold, it pales next to PS4. MIcrosoft will probably gladly give you that info closer to release, just as Sony will happily tell you how many PS4 sold.
