And finally in answering you've pointed out I was correct.
As you rightly say, MS could have got more out of their system and chose not to (although they only talked about variable clocks - not smartshift). Exactly what I said in my first point posted.
Sony did chose to get the power.
QED thanks for your time.
Stop talking as if Smartshift is some sort of Sony secret sauce. It is little more than a basic part of modern AMD Apus.
And that "power" isn't free, or always available either. It is an il-optomised way of increasing the on paper performance of a system. It is objectively worse than fixed performance on a closed system and you don't magically get to apply its boost twice like the member you're attempting to defend claimed in the beginning.
