I do believe it’s internally rendered at 1080p but is still upscale to 4K.

I think that is the key here.

My Xbox Series S runs in permanent 4K @60 mode. If it renders a game at 720p or 1440p or 4K internally, I wont know, as all of them are upscaled to 4K. There is no switching, no black screen, nada, nothing. They can update the UI to native 4K tomorrow and most would be none the wiser. It might look a little crisper it might not.

All I know is that there is no distinct switch anymore with the TV yelling at you in bright disrupting text "You are now in X mode at Y refresh" when you swap from game to UI or game to game.... and I love it.

TBH I personally haven't seen any 8K footage.

For those who have, are there any significant truly-out-of-this-world differences?

Here is how its works. Ok this is my theory but I think its close. Sony used a bit older cpu/gpu so they could get their console ready for launch and also developers could get ready. So the PS5 is ready now for what is available and for the next year or two/three.
In a few years when Xbox are finally ready and sorted their games out and optimized etc, Sony will bring out the Pro that will be ready for games of that time, and Xbox will again play catchup.
Remember how powerful the One X was, but nobody cared? It came out a year after the pro and to close to new gen consoles that developers also didn't care.
Xbox and their fanboys run around like a bunch of af kop hoenertjies. Like they are now scrambling to make a controller like PS5. They have no idea what they doing and make all the wrong decisions.

I love how you say

And then immediately follow that with

This is what, the third double standard?

Last time I checked, a questionnaire isn't scrambling. I really don't understand the point you're getting at. Competition when it comes to the two companies is good - otherwise we'd all have a generic console with controllers that don't even have rumble. Imagine if Sony didn't pick up on the benefit of something like the Pass that shall not be named, and you guys didn't have the PS Plus Collection? What a dud launch that would have been. Yet you don't see me banging on about Sony copying MS.

That aside, the SoC is more or less the same as the Xbox. Zen2 / RDNA2. Different amounts of CU's and clocks though. If you haven't yet, you should watch Mark Cerny's talk on the PS5, it's really interesting.
