That would suck, that isn't much more powerful than the X1 Scorpio. If the PS5 comes in 2019 or 2020, they should be able to better than that.

The Scorpio is 4 years later and has over 4x the GPU power. Sony should go big to push 4K and graphics.

Depends what you consider twice as powerful, a 16GB GGDR5 a twice as fast CPU, 8.4TF system isn't all that bad and considerably more powerful than the Scorpio. 

8 teraflop GPU and more RAM might be enough to push Scorpio 4K/30 fps games to 4K and maybe 60 fps with extra polish on textures and effects.

But not enough power to really demonstrate a significant generation leap post Scorpio. With those specs all PS5 games could be cross gen with Pro and Scorpio.

On a sidenote, I believe MS is making the Scorpio more future proof with higher end specs. Between the massive GPU boost and UHD, it will likely share games with the next Xbox as well. Sony may have to follow suit somehow or thats gonna be a huge advantage for MS.
