Baseless Next Generation Rumors with no Technical Merits [post E3 2019, pre GDC 2020] [XBSX, PS5]

I had already posted this but MS made a point of saying multiple times in the Digital Foundry article that their clocks speeds were locked. I just found that odd and it made me wonder if they got wind that Sony will be using boost clocks. Why else would they make such a point of emphasis about locked clock speeds? In all the console reveals I've witnessed I don't remember locked clock speeds ever being mentioned and if they were they surely were not a point of emphases in any way. I just found it strange and it stuck out to me.
Area vs TDP yield is a bit hard to say...

2.2GHz here we come! Anything close to 10TF is super good IMO, and I had this opinion since early 2019 (when there was no RDNA1, let alone RDNA2), so no disappointment.
I think they said that to emphasize how good this was. It was just a way to say a positive thing. Also because there is a boost clock on CPU.
Let's just hope it's not a single digit total humiliation, hell even Stadia would look and sound better on paper lol.
IMO, no.
That's why NOT going for power is so stupid, generally, of course you have to cut it off somewhere...
The SSD and all that costs will probably dwarf a few mm on the SOC, especially as time wears on.
When you save a few bucks on the SOC, it costs you billions. Your console is weaker so you end up having to slash prices on it to keep up. See, Xbox One...
Note: Does not apply to Nintendo.
Don't forget guys that most journalists (and even devs) also thought PS4 would have at best 4GB of GDDR5 just before the full reveal.
Don't worry about it. It could simply mean they won't announce Tflops and the warriors will be sad they still have no ammo for their war.

Somewhere they also showed the TF graph but I cant find it
But all the insiders said.....

The TF number is meaningless, the real problem is if the PS5 is RDNA1 not 2. Or if it lacks certain features such as VRS, ML, Mesh Shaders ..etc.
There's no boost clock on the CPU, it has two fixed clocks depending on whether the devs choose to enable SMT or not. The clock will not change under thermal load, or any other conditions.
Most of the credible insider told console Matt(mod at era) and Jason Schreier are not far from each other. The only one who told PS5 is above it is Klee and Andrew Reiner from Gameinformer.
After maybe the target spec was above but the final console is behind. Don't forget it was target spec and Matt and Jason were saying this is not final things change and they didn't want to tell which console will be more powerful.
This would not be the first time Sony did not reach target spec like with PS3 GPU for example downgrade from 550 mhz target to 500 mhz.

He was not part of the journalist receiving specs.

After the reveal it'll be really interesting to do a post-mortem on the "insider" phenomenon and who actually was and wasn't credible and compare it to how much credibility they were assigned.
