That's for one Line, Onion + passes another 10GB/s would you not add them togeter for 30gb/s? Seems like Albert loves to added stuff and not do if for ps4.

Its not the same.  The X1 has 30GBs directly to ram, the PS4 has 20GBs directly to ram.  The Onion is 10GBs between the CPU and GPU cache

Actually the X1 has direct access to the ESRAM so can snoop its content just like the PS4 can do the same with the 10GBs to CPU/GPU cache.

While the CPU and GPU are coherent, it appears the all processors, CPU, GPU, co-Processors and System IO are coherent within the X1.  There is a lot going on in the X1 which shows MS put a lot of thought in the system.  Hopfully we can see the samething from Sony if they release more info.

Makes sense. but how does that transalet in to graphical performance. Considering everything else on the PS4 is stil higher? 

We have to rememeber that all game code isn't just the picture you see on the screen.  Syncing up animation, physics, audio etc is better for the entire experience of the hardware and what is being executed.  Basically you can have appliations that all run and share information for a complete experience.
