PS5 vs XSeX: Understanding the Gap

[Intrinsic]

Not really, the point I am trying to convey is that Sony and AMD collaborated on a potential "Hybrid" chip to turn it into a unique and different beast, different enough that it's performance profile is different and probably has underlying enhancements that not even RDNA 2.0 has... And it brings it closer to home that comparing the PS5 and Xbox Series X on Teraflops is even more useless.

It doesn't mean that Sony made the wrong choice, far from it... We don't have all the information yet to frame everything in the proper context, just that this leak potentially proves that Sony's chip doesn't have a PC desktop-equivalent... Which is actually similar to what the Xbox 360's situation, it used the Radeon x1800 as a basis but then used enhancements from the Radeon 2900 series and made a unique beast... And was a great chip for the time.

Exactly, the simple truth of the matter is that we have to wit until multipolar games are released on these next-gen consoles. Only then would we be able to gauge exactly what the performance gap/characteristics are. And more importantly, how devs are choosing to leverage or work around them.
