These are cool but are still very low end chips from AMD focused on power.
The most interesting part I found in this article is this:
"In both our Xbox One and PS4 articles I referred to the SoCs as using two Jaguar compute units - now you can understand why. Both designs incorporate two quad-core Jaguar modules, each with their own shared 2MB L2 cache. Communication between the modules isn’t ideal, so we’ll likely see both consoles prefer that related tasks run on the same module."
Looks like AMD just slapped 2 of these together on the same die and gave them a single more powerful GPU and shared cache.

Lol. What a joke. Essentially an FX processor using Bobcat 2.0 cores.

It would be an FX processor using Richland cores technically...and this really isn't all that bad truth be told. Clock for clock, these cores are as good as those found on the FX CPU if not better.
If Xbox One or PS4 come with somesort of a core task allocation program built in to the dev tools, and don't leave it to programmers to decide how cores are being used, this can easily match and even beat intels i3 ivy bridge CPU line.
