No it doesnt, check the user bench scores.
Benches posted here and ree showed it score on par with 1700x. That's all we have to go atm
It actually makes total sense on smaller die. You want to maximize yields, costs and performances
The difference 20mm2 will make on a 320mm2 die yields its minimal, and as the process matures it will be null
So it doesnt make sense to cripple CPU performance for minimum short term savings. Consoles are all about long term plans
For a 360-400mm2 die you'd have a point, otherwise it doesn't make sense
you can get 150fps on every single current gen game on 3700x.
lol not even close, maybe on 60 ps console games like doom but in more cpu intensive games i doubt it
and again this is 4.4GHz on games designed around weak jaguar cores
Consoles will run around 3.2GHZ with games designed to exploit the new CPU in ways that it will bring it to its knees
Jaguar cores where COMPLETELY underpowered in 2013
Current gen games are designed around those jaguar cores thats why you get 150fps on some games
In fact, Jaguar cores where likely slower inside console then Cell was and that was designed 10 years before.
Not a general purpose task, they where much faster
. 3700x is a CPU that runs every current gen game at min 5x the frame rate, so what will be better trade off? Have 20% lower IPC on already OP CPU or 30% more GPU
At 4.4GHz... and you said it yourself current gen games designed around weak jaguar limitations
New CPU is supposed to enable previously unattainable experiences not just run current gen games at faster framerates with minimal upgrades. The CPU power will be used towards more interactive, dynamic and alive worlds more complex ai routines, complex physics etc.
Have you considered that after the foundation of the mid-gen refreshes, the race to the top in terms of graphic performance may not be that important to Sony anymore? That Sony may only be interested in establishing it's baseline performance standard for the start of the generation and later let the 5 Pro fulfill the unkept promises like 8K etc.
So far haven't seen that in their messaging, the opposite actually
To answer your question, I toyed with the idea of 1440p PS5 and 4k PS5 Pro before, but with recents tech developments im confident they can deliver a competent 4k machine (11TF+) without breaking the bank
