Well. Some processing you simply can't spread over multiple threads, the PS4 is only going to have an extra 2 cores/threads over the Xbox 360 and PS3 and scaling beyond multiple cores isn't a linear increase as you have diminishing returns.
With that said, you can have 100 cores, if each core is super slow, then a CPU with 4 fast cores can do the same amount of work with allot less effort.
Don't get me wrong, I love the fact the PS4 is going to have 8 x86 cores, it's going to translate well in the PC space, I just wish Sony took CPU performance more seriously and went with something that has more grunt, your stuck with the hardware for the entire machines life afterall.
