It might be a good downclock, like it happened with the PS3's RSX, for all we know ¯|_(ツ)_/¯ I mean, it necessarily has to do with clocks this late in the game. Or maybe disabled parts of the chip, if you're really feeling it's your lucky day to bet. (Some rumors once circulated about the PS4 doubling its RAM because 2 gb chips were suddenly available in 2013 and yadda yadda but these have been dismissed since). |
My guess, and pure speculation here, downclock the GPU and increased CU count.
2GHz always seemed way too high to me for a home console, but let's see. the important part is that it's an open game right now, and the other rumors of some form of hardware parity with xsx (with slight edge to one of them) are now perfectly compatible with the old leak.
