Honestly, I think the comment about LPDDR5 in the article is very telling...

Yes, TFLOPS are not truly indicative of real world performance, but considering a ~14% difference in power, why couldnt this thing EASILY run 1440p or 4k at 30 like the Series S or PS5? Series S has 4 TFLOPS and targets 1440p at 60 for most games...

i have to assume because the xbox and ps5 are plugged into an infinite source of energy with substantially better cooling systems on top

I think they mean a Switch like use case. Cooling implementation does still matter though.

Apple seem to use Quad-channel and more for the M1 Pro and Max in order to get the required memory bandwidth, maybe we can expect to see quad channel memory in more consumer CPUs in the upcoming generations if integrated GPUs start becoming more relevant.

Yeah, it's weird the 1080p numbers in the article seem so low. And there's no mention of 4k gaming, like with an external monitor or similar.

So, something doesn't seem to line up.

PS5 is 3-4 year old tech at this point.
