Mobile products aren't necessarily low/mid end. The PS4 has a desktop GPU in its APU anyway.

No it isn't. Its the mobile variant with other modifications.

There is NOTHING "mobile" in the PS4.

A quad core jaguar has a TDP of 25W at 1.6GHz. The PS4 has a (rumoured) 2GHz eight core custom CPU so you are looking at 50W TDP for the CPU part. The GPU part is an improved 7850-like GPU. This is one hell of a chip likely in the 100W TDP range.

Jaguar is AMDs successor to Bobcat. These are AMDs low-power low-cost market... the "mobile" products. Stuff they intend for laptops, netbooks, and so forth.

Just because Sony is fusing two of these quad-core mobile processors together, doesn't mean its not a mobile based CPU.

The entire APU (CPU plus GPU) will have a TDP below 100W. That's kinda the point of going with an APU to begin with.
