What really matters is if the new console fits the description of a generational leap. If you multiply 1.84 times 7, you get 12.88TF. Sony would NOT launch with less than this due to the fact that a generational leap is defined as a minimal 7-10 time improvement in TFLOPs. If Sony couldn't produce a system with at least close to seven times the TFLOPS as the PS4, they would have simply waited another year. For Sony to utilize the chip from the Github leak would mean they would be utilizing an 8TF chip because a sustained 2000mhz frequency isn't going to be used. That's simply ridiculous. Instead of pushing a cheap where it's operating outside of it's most efficient zone, they would add CUs. To say otherwise is to call the engineers at Sony complete blathering idiots.
What defines a generational leap? Because to me it's a updated architecture and not solely power. That's why the Switch is a leap, even though it's not massively powerful. It can do stuff the PS4 and Xbox one can't, even.
