As far as i am concerned, he's already lost his job. I dont think he deserves it but i think Sony is not going to tolerate NDA breaches like this.
Before this everyone was under the assumption that ML was a part of Sony's GPU. This was in the 2nd Wired article. Sony would get in a lot of trouble for not issuing a correction to the EA exec talking about ML if this was true. So he's technically gotten Sony in trouble. if the PS5 isnt RDNA 2.0 then Lisa Su would be on the record as a liar. So yeah, i would say everyone from Lisa Su to Mark Cerny and Jim Ryan would be coming for his head. He's fucked.
That said, I dont think this is true. There is clearly enough RDNA 2.0 features here that it qualifies as a RDNA 2.0 card. You cannot get a 2.23 ghz GPU in a console if it doesnt have RDNA 2.0's perf/w efficiencies. You cannot have hardware ray tracing if it doesnt have RDNA 2.0 featureset. And I highly doubt that the EA exec would lie about Sony features that arent in the console. Though it IS possible that Xbox has a slightly different implementation.
The great thing is that in only five days we will know if the games with VRS, DLSS, and fixed clocks will look twice as good as the PS5 exclusives. if everything looks as good as hellblade 2 in realtime then we will have our answer and Sony will be roasted on the internet. I just dont believe thats going to be the case.
I honestly just believe that some people are just interpreting this wrong. The alternative is just insane like you said.
Exposing Lisa Su and Cerny as liars is just extreme in my opinion.
