Why am I seeing this Single-sourced — only TechPowerUp has this
Only TechPowerUp has this. It is here on that single source, so read it as one outlet's reporting until somebody else confirms it.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

What happened
Developer Chokri Hammedi (blue0x1) has released EmuFive, an experimental emulator that runs PS5 games on a jailbroken PS4. The best result so far is God of War: Sons of Sparta, which apparently runs at around 40 FPS and above on a PS4 Pro. The PS5 version of Hollow Knight: Silksong boots too, though that game already has a native PS4 release. Both are 2D games, of course, and the developer notes that plenty of other games are still sluggish. EmuFive doesn't run on top of the PS4's own operating system. It's a small Linux system, installed through PS4 Multiboot and started from a GoldHEN payload. At its core is KytyPS5, the same PS5 emulator that recently got Marvel's Wolverine to run on PC, and showed good progress in many other PS exclusive titles.
