Hmm, do you have a link for that?  I was surprised when the original stuff said one per CPU per cycle.  Even the go ol' Xbox 360 does two per CPU per cycle.  And that's really going back to essentialy 2004 tech.

That would still give the Xbox One a 2 execution per CPU per cycle advantage, more or less depending on the Hz it runs.  So kind of negating the GPU differences, or tilting power in the X1’s advantage.

Sigh, I should just make popcorn and watch the fans fight it out.

Edit - I made a mistake... the Jaguar core can decode 4 intruction per each 2 clock cycle... so 2 instructions per clock cycle.

"The decoders can handle four instructions per clock cycle. Instructions that belong to different cores cannot be decoded in the same clock cycle. When both cores are active, the decoders serve each core every second clock cycle, so that the maximum decode rate is two instructions per clock cycle per core."

Oh deary me, oh my.  This would sort of imply the PS4's CPU is only 30% as powerful as the Xbox One's, which can process 4 more instructions per cycle.  That would tilt things in the other way.  There are many people that are not going to be happy at all about this.  I think we have stumbled into a hornest nest!  RUN!!
