Given the total absence of legitimate 8.4tf arguments in this thread, i still fail to see the point in bringing it up. I did a quick control-f search of the DF article too, and at the time of me posting this comment it's not been brought up once in the comments of the DF article this thread stems from. In the absence of any direct catalyst, it feels like you just wanted to bring it up. True or not, that's how it appears.

You said the Scorpio 'guarantees native 4k'. 4k might be the design focus of the Scorpio (and it will certainly hit that native mark more often than the Pro), but their developer policy is literally the opposite of an unqualified guarantee.

As for the 8.4tf statements, while you're right that some have misunderstood Cerny, i wouldn't blame Sony for that. He was in an interview with EG that was focusing on what the Pro can do, and the Pro being more efficient with FP16 (it can handle 2 FP16 operations at once, rather than leaving half the registry empty) was one of the points brought up. It's not his fault many don't know the difference between FP16 and FP32, anymore than it's his fault some people seem to think FP16 is purely hypothetical and never used in games. 

Im only bringing it up as its stated by the OP which has now been edited as a joke. Gamers need to move away from the Claim and this 8.4TF or many will be disapointed when a 6TF machine can out preform a 8.4TF machine. Im considering buying one and someone already at my EB games store that works  there told me it is also a 8.4TF machine to try to sell it to me. I just laughed in his face and told him, ill buy one soon but for the official 4.2TF.

The Scorpio also has at least 12GB of much faster GDDR5X memory, so even if the Tflops was a thing (which is isn't) people are just getting their hopes up way to high, obviously a console that is aimed to be the most powerfull and releases a year after the ps4 pro will be faster.

Sony also made some decisions to not compromise excisting ps4 owners (not changing the amount of memory or CPU too much) which microsoft doesn't seem to be doing, they are pushing with no limits but apparently, if what the youtubers are saying is true, they made it quite easy to optimize for xbox one and scorpio (reviewtechUSA said this)

Anyway, the ps4 pro has always been GREAT for new buyers, but as an upgrade if its worth it we will see next year, since the games really taking advantage of this (NioH and Horizon look good) are still to come out. but a smart buyer would always wait untill we know the complete story on the Scorpio, price, get some first looks at the games running on it, but yeah, the 8Tflops thing is just adding some wood to the fire for people defending the ps4 pro's performance and ability
