For a company that plans to produce millions of the console, wouldn't too much overclocking be quite a hit in terms of repairs? It increases the failure rate of the hardware. |
No it doesnt.
Only if you dont have a sufficient good cooling unit.
Look at the RX 480, those units run at like 1200mhz+ (higher power, higher clock rate).
Why is the PS4 neo rumored to have its gpu part running 911mhz ?
To keep power consumption down, and to keep it cool, with a small cooling unit.
The answear is simple then, simply put on a bigger cooling unit, and clock the gpu higher.
If they do that, the teraflops of performance it can deliver will go up.
The gpu parts are made to run faster, and use more power, without it effecting anything.
Its simply a matter of cooling.
Sony just has to make a bigger box, with a more powerfull cooling unit.
The chip stays the same as it is now.
