Seems fake...though 4.6TFLOPS might be something they are actually willing to go for, considering we can easily expect 10+ TFLOPS from next PS/Xbox.
Still, that would be insane jump in raw power for them...but probably necessary if they decided that 3rd party support is of utmost importance for their next system.

Just out of curiousity, when are you expecting the next sony/xbox console to come out, as well as how much do you expect it to cost with 10+ TFLOPS?

2018 or 2019, priced about the same as PS4 or less.

10TFLOPS is just 5.5x of PS4, so it's not as big as it might seems at first - jump from 360 to PS4 is much more actually, so it would need to be something like 14TFLOPS for similar TFLOPS jump (measuring performance of different GPU gens solely on TFLOP numbers is pointless of course)

I'm no expert, but I'm told that the Terminal would cost around 600-700 dollars in 2017, so I have a hard time believing that the ps5 would release a gpu that is 3x better than that and be 400 dollars or less only 1-2 years later.

Well, can I suggest you then maybe you stick to that "experts" opinion on Terminal and ask him instead, otherwise you can do some math on launch prices of 7870 (pretty much what's inside PS4) vs current prices of 7870 and R9 270 and extrapolate from there for R9 290/290X, what those "leaked" specs actually are - keep in mind though that current AMD prices are tad high due to recent Litecoin gold rush.

As for next-next gen PS/Xbox, read again, it would not be 3x better, I'm talking about 10+TFLOPS option, then rinse and repeat previous procedure.
