Both X720 and PS4 having similar CPUs will make this upcoming generation interesting.


Both X360 and PS3 has silmilar CPUs

Xenon is a CPU used in the Xbox 360 game console. The processor, is based on IBM PowerPC instruction set architecture, consisting of three independent processor cores on a single die. These cores are slightly modified versions of the PPE in the Cell processor used on the PlayStation 3.

Thing is, the interesting part in Cell wasn't ppe....

"Xenon in Xbox 360

The PPE was designed specifically for the Cell processor but during development, Microsoft approached IBM wanting a high performance processor core for its Xbox 360. IBM complied and made the tri-core Xenon processor, based on a slightly modified version of the PPE.[29][30]"

And still the interesting part in Cell wasn't the ppe but the spe's.
