There are some benchmark in which the PS3 CPU actually does a better job than the PS4 CPU. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/PS4-Clobbers-Xbox-One-Ubisoft-GPU-Benchmark-67877.html |
What that benchmark tells us is that the Cell's architecture was designed to have certain special purpose features (similar to that of a GPU.) For general-purpose tasks (which is what CPU's are designed for) the Jaguar is very much the superior processor. The Cell (and to a lesser extent Xenon) were designed to maximize floating point operation performance (flops) at the cost of pretty much everything else, it makes sense that it would somewhat outperform the Jaguar when it comes to GPU Benchmarks.
