PS4 Neo GPU Is Point-For-Point A Match For RX 480

It won't be 60 fps. It will need a better CPU to achieve that. As they are basically just upgrading the GPU, you can count on higher res, more effects, better lightning. The fps will probably just be a bit more stable because of the marginally higher CPU clock + GPU.

Not so simple, it depends on the game. The XBO has the same CPU as the PS4 clocked at 1.8ghz instead of ps4's 1.6ghz, by that logic the XBO should have higher framerate than the PS4, However in almost all instances it is the PS4 version of games with the better and more consistent frame rate even though it has a weaker CPU. So we can come to the conclusion that in the majority of console games it is infact NOT the CPU that is limiting the framerate, so framerate gains from the NEO may be bigger than you expect.

The earlier leaked specs suggested the NEO would use the same CPU as the original but clocked at 2.0ghz instead of 1.6ghz.

Exactly, as in most modern games being GPU bound, the FPS will depend on GPU, not in CPU. It could be a different story for legacy games made to take advantage of single core processors like 15 years ago or more
