Using that info, Slimebeast, how did you determine what you did?

First, GPU renders the graphics (except with the PS3 since some GPU tasks were done on the CPU and thus freeing up resources for the GPU with the end result that exclsuives looked better than X360 xclusives). PS4 GPU is 9 faster than the PS3 GPU. That's the basis.

Then I look at possible bottlenecks.

RAM: In PS3 a bottleneck in some cases.

CPU: In PS4 bottleneck in some cases.

Memory bandwith: about equally proportioned towards their respective GPUs.

So all in all, for most multiplatform games the increase in available rendering power will correspond well to the incrase in raw GPU power ( x9).

Yes, for gaming, there will be a 9x increase. But, you and Michael are only, both, just talking about that, while I, and others, are talking overall. Even some developers (Carmack and EA) have put the PS4's overall increase at 10x.

Yes, yes. Correct.

But I'm ever ever only interested in advancements in gaming power and in these discussions that's almost an unspoken premise - nearly everyone assumes we're talking gaming power, for example when somebody says Wii U = PS360 and so on.

But yes, If I were to estimate the total power increase of PS4 versus PS3 I would agree with you (x10 increase or more).

Microsoft sure will make a big deal out of all its resources in the Nextbox that are available to non-gaming tasks (multitasking, living room control device, social media and whatnot) to convince us how much stronger and better it is than the X360.
