If they could have 100% GPU and CPU all the time, there would not be a reason for boost clocks (or what they call it now, variable, smartshift etc). In special if they had trouble locking 2ghz for gpu and 3ghz for cpu at a fixed rate. This variable clocking enabled huge boosts for a reason.
You seem to not having understood anything at all of the presentation. Or at least if you did, I did not understood the same as you! Maybe someone else can help here?
As I understood it PS5 clocks will not be at maximum all the time. That's why she has boost clocks. The clock speeds will adjust according to the workload, just like standard PC cards do. The difference here is that power consumption is fixed, unlike the PC.
Xbox is the exact opposite. Fixed Clocks, variable power consumption. On PC both are unlocked.
But with workload decreases or increases the clock speed will adjust. As such clock speed will not be 100% all the time. No game ever requires 100% all the time. In the same game, in the same scenario, you look in a different way and demands on the GPU will change.
Clock speeds will adjust to that demand, just like power consuption adjusts on the XBox.
The only way clock speeds can be at 100% all the time is if you lock the clock speeds. And in that case is the power consumption that changes.
That's how I understood it... On really heavy games, clock speeds will be maximum most of the time, but not all the time, since demands are never constant and maximum.If, by any chance you go over the budget on a clocked clocks system the fan would fire up. On this case, the system will not let it's temperature go above the maximum expected. It will downlock 2 to 3% allowing it to gain back 10% power usage and keeping temperatures. Hardly anything with impact, but a solution to allow a system with high clocks stable.
