1.6x Is the GPU speed, it only goes from 550 to 860 or something, which is about a 60% Jump. I don't know how large the CPU jump is, but apparently the CPU used in the PS3 is a modified version of the CPU used in AMD's High End Laptop lineup. However Laptop CPU in a home console? That's probably done to cut power useage because I hear the original PS3's used 200W to run them, and that's more then a mini-fridge.

PS4 gets rid of the bottleneck that the PS3 had with a strong GPU and 3x more VRAM, but like I said before the GPU is only 9x more powerful then PS3's and the VRAM is only 3x more. It's not going to make the PS3 tens of times more faster if it only directly increases the bottleneck drawback 9x.

Theoretically PS4 can be up to 9x more powerful, but realistically things like the slow GPU speed, weak CPU's, and small upgrades in PS3's other bottlenecks, like VRAM, PS4 is only going to be 6-9x more powerful.

Uhm... are serious man? That's just the core clockspeed, it say's nothing about processing power, PS3 is using 8 year old technology. I think you should read into some facts about computer technology before posting this kind of nonsense.

PS3 gpu processing power: 200 GFLOPS

PS4 gpu processing power: 1860 GFLOPS

That's over 9x. And just 3x more VRam? Ps3 had 256mb fixed amount of ram at 22 gb/s. Ps4 will have 8000mb shared ram at 176gb/s, they could use as much of that as Vram as they want. Let's say 5000mb of that for vram. That's 20 times the amount of Vram the PS3 had at much higher speeds, and close to the amount that Nvidia's $1000 Titan card has.

And it's an 8 core cpu based on amd's new Jaguar core, even at 1,6ghz that's about equal to a 2ghz cpu from amd's current line-up. Or a quad-core running over 4ghz, that's not that bad either.
