This tweet seems to be implying the existence of a portable PS4/PS5. The specific reference to library size echos the numbers floated by Sony when talking about BC back in March.
Portable PS5? *spawn*

That tweet series is entirely talking about Microsoft's Lockhart product. Nothing Sony about it.

Lockhart isn’t portable, and this guy is a former Sony dev who has been dropping hints about their architecture constantly. I’m suggesting he’s using the conversation as a trogan horse for spilling the beans.
I know, and he currently works for Roblox. But trust me, the first tweet is entirely about Microsoft Lockhart. Read some of the followups around Twitter and The Verge.
But its interesting that you take it to mean portable PS5 design. We'll find out in under 6 months.

I’ve read the entire thread. There’s no reason why he’d believe Lockhart is portable if he’s at all paying attention to the rumors. No one has said Lockhart is portable.

Is it clearly breaking NDA? Everyone else assumed he was talking about Lockhart, after all

5nm console in 2-6 months?....sounds like pure speculation on his part
Maybe it's 36 but 16 are reserved for Kinect 3
Didn’t someone here just post an image laying out two modes for Lockhart with one being under 10 W?

2 disabled - just like OG PS4.
So it has no solo compute unit like the PS5 has?

Sony doesn’t count the Tempest amongst the PS5 CUs, so it seems inconsistent to apply that reasoning here.

Smaller and lower clocked chip could forego redundancy for decent yields in mass volume.
I am expecting 2 CUs disabled for yields. He was most probably talking about the whole number, it's better for PR. And based on his tweets from the last year or so, he is now technically a PR mouth for MS with the advantage of being able to spread FUD without legal consequences.
But 18 CUs are interesting because Sony could in theory use Lockhart to run their PS4 games via PS Now.
To me it looks like its his view on hardware in general, he probably knows a lot about the performance of upcoming RDNA2 chips and he weighs in with that in a general manner, like here. 20CUs is a enough for 1080p/900 to me , means that its just a PS4/XBO ish thing with a better CPU if it got Zen2
