Because videogames journalism is embarrassingly bad.

 

1. Two quad-core processors boasting PS3-esque power in something the size of a PSP? Given that a PS3 is about 30 times the size of a PSP and still needs a fan you could get a medium-sized helicopter off the ground with (and which makes about the same amount of noise), how on Earth are they going to manage that without the thing melting in your hands after three minutes?

How can it have two quad-core CPUs?

it's got a 4 core ARM CPU and the GPU design they are using (same as the iPhone) has 4 "cores or at least that is what the designers call them. http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/inside-the-sony-ngp-the-cpu-and-gpu-in-detail-924306

So is it like 25% faster than an iPhone 4 or is it magnitudes more powerful?

Single GPU in NGP is slightly faster than the one in iphone.

BUT NGP has 4 of them.
