According to the guys of Neogaf. The weaker GPU will be used for other functionalities , while a more powerful one will be used for games.

Power efficiency seems to be a main concern for Sony.

What I wrote here weeks/months ago. There is really no mystery to this patent. It's jut a way to collect money (like patents have become nowadays) if anyone goes the same/a similar route in the future.

Most people will avoid implementing patented tech in their products. They will find a work around. THAT is the point of patents, to make your products unique and prevent competitors from using techniques you invented.
