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

But having less Mhz isnt that much of a difference, stream processors are. There are various Graphicscards from different companies of the same AMD GPU with higher clock speeds than orginally intended by AMD, yet the difference is quite small in performance.

Also Sony could easily decide to increase the clockspeed in the last minute, just like they increased the GDDR5 ram from 4 to 8 Gigs for the original PS4.

It does matter if we are trying to calculate Flops...

The way you calculate it is... Number of Cores∗Average frequency∗Operations per cycle

 

2306*0.911*2 = 4.2 Tflops. (Ps4 Neo Rumoured clock speed which in terms of other specs, has been right so far)

2306*1.2*2 = 5.5 Tflops. (480's clock speed)

Of course, Flops doesn't directly translate to real world performance but if we are trying to use it as a relative unit of measurement, mhz does matter... And sure they could increase the clock speed but it is a lot harder to do due to heating issues than just to add in more ram... Specially if they are aiming for a slim model (Not saying it is going to be slim but if it is...)

i doubt they would aim for a slim model, the PS4 is allready slim enough. They will market it for 4K, like having a 4K Blue Ray player. The RX 480 doesnt look like it will do much heat, its a very small card in comparison to a GTX 1080. There is plenty of opertunity for Sony to change the final design. Epsacially with these scorpio rumors
