I kinda doubt Sony/MS would choose CPUs weaker than PS3/360's for their next gen consoles, haha. XD

lol yeah, but to answer your question, the Cell proccessor would be an absolute beast by 2006 standards if it were easy to code for, and the tri-core CPU in the 360 wasn't a pushover either compared to high end CPU's at the time. 

Yeah, that's what I was saying, PS3/360 were freaking monsters for their time. Not that the Jaguars in PS4/X1 are bad, they're not, I'm just not sure they're quite as beastly powerful for their time.

Yeah, the Jaguar architecture is designed for tablets and netbooks, and with that in mind the CPU the PS4 and Xbone have are beastly compared to other CPU's in netbooks and tablets on the market, they most likely went with thid rather than the trinity architecture due to heating issues, so while they aren't impressive compared to desktop CPU's, they're hella impressive for what they are. 

I'll admit, I'm no expert in CPUs, but the enemy counts in Dead Rising 3 are enough to convince me that Jaguar's got the goods. I think it says a lot about the strength of PS3/360's CPUs that in 2013, 7-8 years after release, they're still up to running most of the top games, including ports from PS4/X1.
