Well, then it comes down to whether you believe Sony or not, since these are their words:
"According to Sony,
all PS5 consoles process the same workloads with the same performance level in any environment, no matter what the ambient temperature may be. "
"So how does boost work in this case? Put simply, the PlayStation 5 is given a
set power budget tied to the thermal limits of the cooling assembly. "It's a completely different paradigm," says Cerny. "Rather than running at constant frequency and letting the power vary based on the workload, we run at essentially constant power and let the frequency vary based on the workload."
