I love how Mark Cerny managed to spin Sony having to raise the clock frequency of the PS5 GPU to compete with a the XSX's TFlop specs as an advantage. GPUs tend to be memory-bandwidth bound - if you play around with raising the clock frequency by 10% from stock on most GPUs, you won't get 10% more fps, likewise if you drop the frequency by 10%, you won't lose 10% fps. But with the power consumption scaling with the square of the frequency, the difference in power draw can be absolutely significant. That's the reason many people (me among them) chose to underclock their 5700XTs
