Well I guess that rumor of a second GPU is dead.

If we really want to break down what is said in this tweet.  You have a guy who is not working on any development between the PS4 and X1.  He talked to some people who told him the difference between the X1 and PS4 is 50%.  Not knowing if the people he talked with are working on games between both hardware is hard to determine.  For all we know, the people he talked with heard something from someone else who then read something on a forum. 

Personally, I rather hear from developers who are actually working on both hardware.  Who actually have practical experience working with both development environment.  We probably will not get info from those people until the both the X1 and PS4 ship.

here ya go:

“Well, obviously PlayStation 4 is more powerful than Xbox One,” War Thunder developer Anton Yudintsev told Edge.

When asked how much more powerful is Sony’s console, Yudintsev made things abundantly clear:

“It depends what you’re doing. GPU, like 40 percent more powerful. DDR5 is basically 50 per cent more powerful than DDR3, but the memory write is bigger on Xbox One so it depends on what you’re doing.”

He said because of it, they could make things look prettier on PS4 as compared to Xbox One before again stressing that it wasn’t power that was the issue, as they’re able to scale their game, but Microsoft’s still-unclear self-publishing and free-to-play policies.
