Next-Gen PS6 and XBOX |OT| Console Tech Thread Redux

CPUs clocked at 5 GHz in a console? I highly doubt it.
When current gen launched their zen2 cpu's clocked at 3.5 to 3.8 ghz and their Desktop counterparts clocked at 4.3
Zen6 Desktop will be in the 6ghz Range, I think its plausible for the ps6 cpu to reach 4.5 to 4.8 ghz and Helix at 5ghz
 
Zen6c clocking above 4GHz would be a surprise IMO. AMD already ships Zen5c on 3nm in servers via Turin-Dense (EPYC 9965 and so on).

Clock rates there are:
Max. Boost Clock Up to 3.7 GHz
All Core Boost Speed 3.35 GHz
Base Clock 2.25 GHz

Expect something like that for Zen6c too, with maybe a small uplift to account for process refinements in N3P.

The handheld is probably going to clock even lower. If it's a 15W TDP chip you can maybe afford 0.5-1W per core? Expect something like 2.x GHz on the handheld for a default configuration (which maxes out GPU performance), maybe with modes that clock down the GPU to get better CPU performance as some optional thing a developer can chose to run for their game.

As per mlid 3 full fat performance zen 6 cores clocked above 5ghz for helix which seems too high to me. 6 to 7 times performance of xbox series x seems possible. $1200 is what I am willing to pay for this if it can run all my steam and epic games.

Make sense to clocked it so low with 192 Cores and something Like 300 Watts tdp, Even Full fat zen5 on a Epyc cpu's often has a Max boost clock of 4.4 ghz where Desktop 16 cores Are at 5.7 - 5.8
