So this is priced at $600? If that's the case is this the kind of power we can expect the PS5 to have if it releases in about 5 years?

In 5 years we should have 7nm~ GPU's.
I would expect probably even double the performance of even this.

The upcoming 7nm nodes are "only" about 3 times better than 14-16nm and they are very, very expensive. Anyone who can't afford paying literally hundreds of millions of dollars to design a chip are going to stay put. Do not expect more than one or two consoles, and one or two PC GPUs five years from now or so.

Consoles could be 40-60% better than a GTX 1080 even on their current power requirements. But yeah, if they are as big and power hungry as the fat PS3/X360 SKUs, they could maybe double a GTX 1080.

Of course, everybody could play safe and stay at 10nm. You never know.
