I've been a bit out of the loop but I'm going to guess DF created a article/video about the github leak?
For me, all of this doesn't add up. Information from official articles and insiders are all opposite of the github leak. From 10+ TF, to stronger than stadia, to power difference being close and no a 3TF difference is not close and especially not if the XSX also has a higher (rumored) clocked CPU, to Cerny saying that the PS5 has RT in the GPU, to finally Sony coming out that they are making the PS5 for the hardcore. A 9.2TF system is not for the hardcore it's for the casuals. And yes we do have Jim Ryan coming out and saying they want to transition players faster than current gen but keep in mind there are several ways to accomplish that.
So if we look at it from a logical point of view the github leak does not seem to tell the whole story, just perhaps part of it.
Being stronger than stadia doesn't have to mean 10tf+. Teraflops are not the be all for a enclosed system. Sometimes it's other thing's, like the type of storage that they have to instantly load a game. Something that even PC doesn't have yet.
Stronger than Stadia could mean in literally the experience being better. From local rendered image, load times, just overall experience being better. Now do I think 9tf+ is the final number? No, but do I think it's possibly a target? To get close to 10tf without needing giant clocks to achieve it. Yes.
I'll be surprised if the system is priced closer to MS's 12tf console.
I mean if it is 12tf, then I guess everyone wins but our wallets.
But honestly Sony's messaging has never been about being the most powerful. Their design decisions have always been about best priced hardware, that will empower their developers to transition quickly and develop with enough horse power.
This. I've been thinking for a while now that they want people to be able to afford both consoles.
Yea, honestly why change a strat that currently has worked for them? Makes sense to offer a box at $399 at launch that's 8+-9tf. Then have PS5PRO in 2-3 years that's around 12-14tf for $499 or higher. Makes sense to me, too much sense.
And honestly I think the bread crumbs of them not having PSVR2 at launch kind of goes along with that. I would imagine the render resolution for the new VR headset would work with 9tf but would benefit from something around 12tf+.
