I know that both consoles will have an 8-core CPU, but will it really use SMT and have 16 threads? Given the huge performance increase both consoles would have just from going from Jaguar to Zen2, the extra threads may not be needed, maybe even making development a tad more easier.

In any case, and whether they go with and 8/8 or an 8/16 design, I agree that this chip could be very similar to the one they'll use.

Everything thus far suggests that its an 8/16 CPU. Unless the sample chips being tested over the last year ae all for naught. We even have sample chips that were tested with the exact cache allotment seen in this 4800H CPU but paired with a beefier and unknown GPU. But even if  SMT is cut, that feature only adds about 30% to overall CPU performance anyways.

Suggested or rumored doesn't really matter in the end, specially with early samples that can use specifications that aren't final. In any case, we got he answer that this is the case:

Sony's corporate release specifies it is a 8 core, 16 thread Zen2 CPU.

Well, that definitely answers my question. Thanks you for sharing.
