I have a very hard time believing this knowing what is out there right now. I guess if the architecture is right, then maaaaaaaybe, but I just don't see it. More likely to be a hexacore or a quad core. 16 cores seems unreasonable, you don't use a CPU for graphics (optimally) so why so much CPU power? Power is another reason, the pure wattage devoted to 16 cores would be ridiculous, look at the cooling problems that the original 360 processor had.
Now of course some idiot could have seen the specs for the CPU and gpu, added them up and been like, "yay 16 cores!". I think this is as likely as ps4 being made completely of hemp.
