"severely clocked down GPU parts"

Do we know this for sure cause I wouldn't call 1.825GHz severely clocked down. If anything, it's a pretty good base clock. But we will see how it performs since increasing the frequency might sound great on paper but the performance you get back isn't proportional.

When the PS5 is over 400Mhz faster, then 1825 Mhz sound more like a mobile version than base clock. I expect the base clock to be closer to 2 Ghz then just 1825 Mhz, 1900 sounds more like the minimum base clock to me.

Well if anything, it's the other way around... The Xbox Series X sounds more like the base clock and Ps5 sounds more like it's severely overclocked due to them not expecting the Series X being this powerful. The reasoning is because of Cerny's comments and the issues that the Ps5 has in maintaining that 2.23ghz frequency. In order for the Ps5 to maintain it, the CPU can't be fully underload due to a Power limitation.

Now why would a company design a console that has a power limitation instead of putting in a power supply that can handle both the cpu and gpu at peak load? Probably because they weren't expecting the Series X to be this strong and it's too late to go back at the current phase to redo the powersupply and whatever else would need redesigning. So their best bet was to overclock the GPU which then would have issues like what the ps5 has in terms of Power Delivery.

And not to mention Cerny never told us exactly what the clock would be if both the cpu and gpu are stressed and his interviews have been beating around the bush on the subject.
