The console spec details in the rumor also match up with what was released today.

"The console will then arrive in March or November of 2020 for $499, which would be $100 more than PS4's launch price. It will arrive with backwards compatibility and a 7nm Ryzen 8 core, 16-thread processor of "unknown speed" with the architecture targeting 14 teraflops. The Pastebin says this will position the console for 4K gaming (with 8K upscaling support) as well as better performance for a new wireless iteration of PS VR, which will arrive the same year."

I'm calling BS on that leak. For one, I can't see Sony aiming for $500 instead of $400. Secondly, no way Navi's highest end chipset is 14 tflop, it is AMD's next-gen mid-range GPU line, replacing Polaris. The current highest end Polaris GPU is 6 tflop. No GPU ever has more than doubled the performance of the previous gen chipset it is replacing. 10 tflop is most we can expect from Navi I think, maybe 11 tflop if Sony runs the clocks pretty high. 

I remember reading that the PS5 and next Xbox are gonna have more teraflops than Stadia's 10.7 from an insider after Google had their reveal. I think 14 teraflops might still happen but im not as well versed on computer specs as you so you might be right.

From what Sony announced today I dont see how they can sell the PS5 at $399.
