Oh geez, where should I begin?

The PS4 had a 1.84 teraflop GPU and the Xbox One had a 1.31 teraflops GPU:

1.84 - 1.31 = 0.53 AND NOT 0.3. You almost halved the difference by your lie miscalculation.

1.31 / 1.84 = 0.712 .... so the Xbox One had 28.8% less tflops than the PS4.

4 / 9.2 = 0.435... so the rumoured Lockhart would have 56.5% less tflops than the rumoured PS4... AND NOT 300% less!

56.5 is a bit less than 300, don't you think?

Please learn some math!

Okay you got me, I suck at match. Doesn't change the fact that a game running at 1080p/30fps on ps5 will have to get scaled down to 540p to reach 30fps on Series S with half the Tflops. The difference between a 12Flops Series X and the 9,2 ps5 sounds pretty significant and would be worth a premium to me. But when it's a difference between 4 and 9,2, it's no big deal?   

960x540 is only one fourth (1/4) of 1980x1080. With perfect scaling (so if CPU, RAM, bandwith... aren't bottlenecks) you would only need a 2.3 Tflop-GPU (1/4 of 9.2 Tflops), not 4 Tflops (same architecture and everything else the same).

Since scaling ain't perfect, you can expect factors of 3 - 5 when you reduce the resolution to 25%.

Let's have a look at your own chart:

3.6x - 3.8x the performance by reducing the resolution to 25%, as expected.

Yeah, you still suck at math.
