Also, what is sort of funny is the fact that the PS4's CPU, while being much simpler to program for, is actually less powerfull than the PS3's Cell Processor. |
It really makes sense that the cpu is not as good, because a large part of the cell power is used for graphic/physic. Doing so much on the PS3 CPU was already outdated and proved to not be so efficient (compared to the better gpu they could have afford with a simple cpu). I don't blame them for this failure because it's quite a noble action to try and invest so much money and time in a new custom hardware designs to create an impressive gap. Some people even say that Sony first designs didn't even have a proper gpu. By the way TFlop has always been a terrible measure of comparison between different architectures.
I can't predict the power of the next generation, but if the next gen come earlier, it will be very difficult to provide a power gap with a 400$ product, based on PC architecture, and without a massive loss.
