Architecturally they are even ahead of PC. Still a Titan murders both consoles forever in terms of graphics and overall performance. Advanced =/= more power.
I think some people mix that up. And devs often confuse the public by not making it crystal clear what they mean with ahead.

Architecturally they can only be lesser or equivalent to the PC, the PC always has the best performance and highest-end hardware, nVidia, AMD and Intel spend Billions in R&D every year refining each respective architectures for various chips, that technology then trickles down into other lower-end platforms such as Consoles.
For example Kabini/Jaguar was already in the pipeline for a long time before the consoles decided to use it and it was AMD's R&D into the Bobcat architecture that made it possible, the PC still has superior CPU's and Architectures available that make Kabini/Jaguar seem pitifull however.
Take the PS3 for instance, it included a Geforce 7-based graphics card, 1 week or so before the PS3's launch nVidia launched the Geforce 8 series which was a *massive* upgrade in every single respect, so before the PS3 even launched it was already outdated.
This time around, it looks like AMD will be launching the Radeon 8000 series around the same time the Playstation 4 and Xbox One launches, so the PC will already be a generation architecturally ahead.

I am refering to unified Ram which is just way more efficent and will come for PC in the future, also CPU GPU communication is better so in a sense they are ahead. The Chip Architecture is the same but bringing it all together has certain advantages. PC has the better parts but the overall system design can be improved.
