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. 

Not really.

It's the XsX that is actually designed to run always at the highest frequencies possible, that's why it has fixed frequencies. And if it has to increase its power consumption to achieve that, it will do it.

On the other side, the PS5 is designed with a maximum power consumption limit in mind, even if that means lowering the frequencies to not trespass that limit.
