Low clock speed a challenge for PS4 development too (Project CARS dev)

Jaguar does only 1 IPC? I was unaware of this. So they rely on a higher core count in the same way PS3/360 relied on high clock speed?

Also, didn't the guy who hacked Wii U and revealed its clockspeed say it did 2 or 3 IPC? (Though it has only three cores)

It was an example.

There is more to IPC than the decoding stages anyway. (Which Jaguar sits at 2.)

PS3/360 did rely on clockspeed (And at the time, core counts) to make up for their IPC deficit.

I confess I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to tech; I know a little bit, but the extent of my IPC knowledge is "how many instructions a CPU can execute in one clock cycle".
