I don't think Microsoft would underclock the GPU even if their console gets heating issues. Xbox loyalists would prefer Red Ring of Death 2.0 over having a massive gap in performance when compared to PS4.

I reckon Microsoft already solved the problem by making the console huge in size to improve venting and cool off the console.

The downgrade is not about heat issues... it is about yield issues... production issues of the chip... if they can't even make the chip in the clock to 1.2TFLOPS the downgrade makes sense.

Three times the power just give this rumor more credibily.

yield issues don't result in downclock - only in wasted chips, less outcome of good chips. still please stop making people believe ps4 is 2x the power of xbone by now until anything is assured. i highly doubt you know how he measures power - without context the sentence is useless.
