I had expected the final clock would try to be even more than 2000 MHz, after the 1825 MHz of the XSX, but I expected something like 2050 MHz locked, not a variable rate.

I wonder about the thermal leeway of the APU and how exactly it's going to juggle the two frequencies. 2.23 GHz on practice is probably as much of a theoretical pipe dream as tablet APUs running at their full speeds.

The PS5 chips and cooling is literally designed to run at max frequency 100% of the time, it's only going to run lower when it needs to. 

They won't, and Digital Foundry agrees with me. Sony even has a base unit to give devs the worst-case scenario of how clockspeeds will behave in real time, though I'm going to predict most, specially third parties, will prefer to run at more deterministic clocks regardless.
