Is PS4 CPU is better than Xbone CPU?

About the subject at hand...

I agree that's it is not very interesting to compare one i7 with a jaguar (how many cores or worse for i7, if one thread is used, what frequency the i7 is set? etc.)

But comparing PS4 with X1 is rather fair I think. They must have taken the same settings whether it would be: one core (thread), one whole usable CPU. Why would have they taken different settings between next gen?

So we can safely conclude that in this algorithm compression test, PS4 is slightly better. But because the jaguars are totally identical and that the test focuses on pure CPU's fpu and not bandwidth, we can conclude that PS4 CPU is stronger.

But why haven't we heard about such a significant overclocking it it was the case?

I still find those results surprising because I was convinced (as most people) that X1 had a stronger CPU. This would help to explain the significant advantage of PS4 with BF4 (when the game works of course) because devs said the game is heavy on the CPU. The 44% resolution advantage + 10fps advantage for PS4 is more easily explained now.
