I don't get why you would think PS4 is more then 9x more powerful then PS3. Except for RAM, none of the components are over 9x better, most of which (like GPU speed, bus, and CPU) are only 3-5x better. Either way I won't argue it, like I said, I had a loong debate with CGI, it's impossible to explain to people that PS4 cannot be greater then the sum of its parts.

That's on top of the fact that the GPU in the PS4 can actually take-on some of the tasks that the CPU usually handles and do it entirely within the graphics pipelines such as Physics and A.I, however that's entirely up to the developers discression.
And unlike the PS3, the shaders are unified, so if you have a shader or vertex heavy game, the shader pipelines will process whatever data, instead of having both on seperate fixed function pipelines, meaning more efficiency as more of the hardware is being utilised at any one time.

In my view, this is probably the biggest advantage the PS4 has on the PS3. Also, in my "battles" with Michael-5, these are some of the things I tried to explain. One component doesn't dictate the functions the whole system.
This is on top of the fact that Cerny, himself, also said the PS4 was at least 10x the power of "any current gen hardware." I did my own calculations, just sheer math, and it too turned out to be a little over 10x. If it looks like one and quacks like one, it's probably a little ol' duck. ;)
