I just hope this is fake news. Tflops alone might not paint a full picture but 4Tflops sounds pretty terrible regardless. If next gen games will be targeting 30fps/ 1080p on ps5, wouldn't Lockhart run those games in 720p?

Next-gen games aren't targeting 1080p/30 fps on PS5 though. Both Sony and MS are encouraging developers to aim for 4k/60 fps on PS4 and Series X. MS is encouraging devs to aim for 1080p-1440p/60 fps on Lockhart, most likely 1080p if 4 tflop is real, they'd probably need 6 tflop to reliably hit 1440p on next gen games.

To give you some idea of the fact that it's possible to hit 1080p with 3x less power, take a look at PC benhcmarks:

I wouldn't pay much attention to this at all, MS and Sony have no say. + Microsoft said they consider upscalling 4k as well. All of this will boil down to developers and history is likely to repeat itself, especially with 3rd Parties. Games which target native 4k/60fps will not look as good as games that target 1440p/30fps, so naturally many devs will carefully decide whats more important to the end user.

Games which are not competitive or heavy reflex based will put graphical immersion over 60fps. Open world games will put environmental detail and density over resolution.

Ironically even Microsofts Hellblade 2 Tech showcase was 30fps and sub 4k.

Microsoft intended Xbox One as a 1080p machine but you can probably count the 3rd parties titles that hit 1080p on one hand.
