I think if they're doing a full 15 minute video on this leak, then they think the leak is either true or has weight behind it.
Even if the PS5 is 9 tflops and the Series X is 12, you're still not going to see the kind of differences you saw at the beginning of the XB1 and PS4 gen. People with fantasies of that kind of stuff should probably reign in your thinking on that front.
Prolly the same reason why the next gen thread here got like 1000000 pages per hour after the leak. It's a hot topic that gets the clicks.
In the video they state its either true or has enough weight behind it to be true. He did verify the source too.
In the video they've said that they independently verified the source and they don't believe it's fake.
Aside that, DF does these what if scenarios all the time so what the problem?
Woah if PS5 is 3TF slower that Xbox SX. I wonder if the form factor and higher power draw caught Sony by surprise. Unless PS5 is way cheaper this would be a big issue for Sony
Edit: Ppl already in defensive mode, if this is true the forum will be a mess for months if not years. Lol

They state in video that this is 6 months old but for sony to make any changes other than clock speed they would have to delay launch and take millions in loss.
DF are entitled to provide content if people are looking for it. Look at the thread here and how popular it is.
They also make it very clear what it is.

The next-gen thread moves fast but I thought that Github data was old and we've already moved on from it?
Yes, this theoretical tflops gap is larger.
But there are multiple reasons why this won't be a repeat of last gen. For starters the XB1 not only had a significant tflops deficit, but it also had a memory bandwidth deficit, which is a big problem. There are no reasons to think the PS5 will have similar issues.
The other factor to keep in mind is that the higher we go in resolutions the less obvious these differences become. 1080p vs 720p is instantly noticeable to anyone who is the least bit informed. A 4k comparison to 1800p is not.
Lastly you have the factor of developers just not bothering to take advantage of extra power when it's available. This already happens quite often with the XB1X, and I think this could also be a symptom of being the lesser selling console. Developers are more often than not going to focus first on the platform with the highest install base, which will almost certainly be the PS5. Then you have the whole Series S situation, which means developers are likely going to be working on two builds for Xbox, which I suspect means they're going to be even less likely to put in extra effort to use up every bit of that Series X power if the PS5 is their lead platform.
The only one espousing fantasies is the person saying you won't see a noticeable difference between 9 and 12 flops.
Already known to be false. The leak is real it's just not the PS5.
I heard similar arguments before: when Xbox One was confirmed to be weaker to be exact. We know how that turned out.
Isn't possible that Xbox is just launching the next gen Xbox One X form the start and Sony will launch a "Ps5 Pro" later?
You also had, Panello I think, mention that things are very hard to change past a certain point.
Funny. Someone brings up the 4TF Lockhart and people pounce saying the only difference between it and a 12TF Series X is going to be resolution. Now a 9TF machine is going to have noticeable differences?
Oh wow, haven't been keeping up with all the next gen news. Can't watch the video right now but I guess rumors point to the next gen Xbox GPU having close to 3 TFLOPs more processing power? Interesting, thought things were going to be neck and neck (at least starting out).
If Sony releases a PS5 Pro (a sure thing by now), MS will do the same.
Even if this is true, the PS2CGXbox gen already proved that a more powerful GPU means nothing, the most successful console will be used as the base console for development.
I'm saying if these were the actual specs it's still nothing to scoff at. PS5 at 2x PS4Pro and Series X at 2x the One X. Plenty of power on both to deliver great experiences.
