As of yesterday it's as close to confirmed as it could be, short of Sony publically announcing it themselves. Apparently Sony are now sharing the specifications with developers. And Digital Foundry, among some others, have independently established that it's real.
"First up, we should tackle the issue of how reliable the leak is and by extension, whether the proposed spec is real or not. Up until very recently, exposure to 'PlayStation 4K' throughout the development community was limited. We have been sitting on a number of details awaiting a second source before going to press, but events have overtaken us somewhat - Sony is now openly sharing this specification with developers and while Giant Bomb beat us to the punch, we have access to the same documentation. There is no doubt - this is real. This is the new, more powerful PlayStation 4. "

It's a rumor because the source is supposedly leaked documents from sony. Sony itself has not confirmed anything regarding a PS4k, PS4.5 or PS4 Neo. Gaming news will write articles about any rumor regardless of what the source is. They don't verify their sources. Some of you take every rumor to heart. What happened to those leaked NX controllers?

You are right but it is a rumour with a lot of facts that make sense, the timing of the release of the new AMD chip, sony discussing possiblities in the past and the fact there is a lot of dislike towards this but Sony hasn't made a statement about it. At the current point saying its not true would be a huge relief for many people. Seems like a easy win if there was no truth to these rumours.
