But what surprises me is that this 15watt APU has 1.63 Teraflop of GPU performance.

It is actually 1.664 Teraflops.
640 shaders * 2 Instructions per clock * 1,300mhz clock = 1.664 Teraflops.
And this isn't a fully unlocked chip either, apparantly. A full chip has 11CU's.
11*64 = 704 * 2 Instructions per clock * 1,300mhz clock = 1.83 Teraflops.
HOWEVER. If the CPU is being taxed then the GPU will not be clocking that high as Power and Thermal limits come into play.

Sony could basically do a Playstation 4 "switch" version with one of these!

No. It couldn't.

Consoles doesnt need GGDR5X, GDDR6 or HMB. GDDR5 will be enought.

Will it though, with the push for native 4k next gen? I'd have to look at some more benchmarks, but I'm not sure if there is any current GPU that uses GDDR5 instead of GDDR5X that can play current games at native 4K on ultra settings. And next gen consoles will be pushing for even better graphics than the current PC ultra settings most likely, just like PS4/XB1 pushed for better graphics than 2011-2012 PC games on Ultra.

No. It won't be. GDDR5 is old and outdated.
GDDR6 is the replacement.
You need a ton of bandwidth and fillrate for 4k... Even high-end PC GPU's with HBM2 and GDDR5X isn't a guarentee for 4k 60fps across every title.

Why not? it would be a huge step up from the core's the PS4 are currently useing.
Heck its beating the Intel equivalent at simular power levels (low power).
Unless you think PS5/XB2 need more than just a mobile ryzen cpu?

Ryzen will be old and outdated by the time the Playstation 5 and Xbox 4 drops.
Microsoft and Sony will choose whatever CPU core is the most cost/energy and size efficient for their needs.
AMD should be iterating upon Ryzen on a yearly cadence going forward... So by 2020 we could have 7nm and Ryzen 3/4.

From the first , Sony was planning to use Intel's Haswell for PS4.
Then it has changed AMD's Bulldozer.
And 7nm Ryzen core is more smaller than 28nm Jaguar core.

Bullshit.
Sony was never planning to use Haswell for the Playstation 4.
Sony never used AMD's Bulldozer for the Playstation 4.

In 2020 I definitely think they could release their consoles with some of these mobile Ryzen CPU cores, a 10-12 tflop GPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a 2-4TB hard drive for $400 while at least breaking even, most definitely for $500. They might not use the cores from this exact CPU though, AMD tends to offer refinements to their architectures about every year and a half, which offer a small boost in performance, so we are more likely see some CPU cores from one those refinements since they will be newer tech at the time the consoles are being designed.

With 16GB of main system ram being the sweet spot for PC right now in 2017, I would not be surprised if 24-32GB ends up being the target for next gen in 2019/2020.
By then I would expect 10nm DRAM chips to be the norm.
