I know it's faster than the PS4 on paper but in real world performance that doesn't bear out. It's one of the coolest things about Strix Halo, it's 256bit memory bus allows it stretch it's legs 

From what I've seen, it does it IRL, not by much, but that's just in turbo mode. I'm guessing next batch of handhelds will have memory bandwidth issues fixed, to a degree.

Little bit of contention on the bus that hampers that 120GB/s of bandwidth from being useful at 1080P when fillrate starts to run up into some serious bottleneck  walls.

That's where the PS4 has the advantage. Otherwise the CPU and GPU is smarter and faster in general in the Ally.

What AMD needed to do was throw in some infinity cache to make up for the bandwidth deficit.
