This new slides shows PS4 reserves to games 6 CPUs cores and 5GB of RAM.

Yeah, that's kind of interesting... Seems to be exactly what MS is doing. Both are subject to change, though, over time, in my opinion.

I agree but I don't think the CPU allocation will change over time...

Yeah, two cores will always be "blocked" obviously for operating system purposes reducing performance of both systems, sadly. This is what is puzzling me with PS4... The os is quite "primitive" in comparison to Xbone which has a lot of stuff going on while gaming. PS4 even has dedicated hardware for recording gameplay. So if CPU reservation is going to change it is most probably PS4 doing so... But we also don't know what Sony is planning to do with the os in the future so I think it is ok currently to "play safe".

Well, with all that multutasking stuff (browser, Twitch, Music Unlimited and whatnot) running in the background, 2 cores are pretty reasonable. You don't want the menu to be as slow as the PS3 XMB was in-game.
