"Double the GPU power"

I mean, I have a hard time believing it. I guess since the PS4 is x86 it might be easier to do something like that but eh... I don't know...

To be honest though, I don't really care about this from a consumer perspective *as long as it doesn't get exclusive games*. I'm more concerned from an investor perspective, in case this damages Sony's profitability, which again impacts my shares :-3

x86 is the CPU architecture. Not the GPU. The GPU driver stack is completely independant from the CPU. It could as well be a POWER CPU and it would be as easy to upgrade.

I obviously have no clue about this, but I figured PC are x86 and upgrading them works fine with games, and these consoles are x86 so it might work well with them as well :-3
