Explanation:

CPU - custom designed low power 8 core APU design. Based on the upcoming low power E and C series APUs (C-70, E-450).

GPU - Radeon 7850 has 1.76 Teraflops and 16 compute units, this apparently has 18 compute units and 1.84 Teraflops. Essentially it's a 7850 + 2 extra compute units.

My overall power rating in PC terms:
CPU - 4 out of 10
GPU - 6 out of 10

so how does compare to what digital foundry wrote about?

Disolitudes ratings is a bit misleading though. Its also an oversimplification of the hardware spec.

In terms of PC specs, what part is misleading?

Custom low power APU with 8 cores running at 1.6 Ghz  + 1.84 teraflop capable GPU. We don't know the bus bandwith but memory bandwith is good...

I think an Piledriver FX quad core like 4300 (4 cores at 3.8 Ghz) + overclocked 7850 represents PS4 in terms of PC specs.

Obviously there is direct level access to GPU and no Windows OS running in the background which will make PS4 run games a bit better than a similar PC would.
