What a ridiculous thing to have a discussion over. A CPU is not the bottleneck in a console. It is the absolute farthest things from a bottleneck. CPU's are fast, and they almost never get used fully. 99/100 times you won't see a difference in performance if you upgrade your CPU.

The CPU is the thing which performs calculations, but the bottleneck is bringing things TO THE CPU!!! Thus, things like memory, cache, solid state drives, system bus, and etc, ALL OF THOSE are designed with the sole purpose of bringing things to the CPU faster.

They pretty much hit the ceiling with CPU usage last gen. It's a non-issue this gen.
