The lowest I'd heard before was 750 GFflops, so yeah that is even worse then I thought if true. Can you imagine still using a 600 GFlops home console in 2020 and beyond? :|

It is definitely first and foremost a Handheld I guess.

All this is a side track.... My point was, maybe the PS5 doesnt need as much power as people here believe.

People where talking about 12 Teraflop machines for next gen.

Im not sure thats even needed.

With Sony and MS promoting 4K  you have  4K /60 taking point and that needs a lot of HP especially with good IQ , even when the time comes and they have enough for that, you then have other aspects like wanting games to be able to have more unique npc's and not seeing what looks to be a dozen or so skins and voices used on all the different characters in games  like skyrim and also not having pop up in this day and age I'm sure theres more stuff like that where over the years all the HP goes on graphics aimed at what ever resolution is seen as the standard but still we have those age old  problems still with us.
