 PS3 was ~300-400, PS4 is 1.95TFLOP so 5x increase


First off, the PS4 has 1.84 TFlops of GPU compute power, secondly, the PS3 only has a GPU with 228 Gflops (0.0228 Tflops), so the PS4's GPU is actually an x8 increase over the PS3.  

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.

Yeah I know, I'm using combined GPU+CPU flops.

Ok, that makes more sense.  

I'm really interested to see what the role of the CPU will be in the next consoles as CPUs are slowly becomming more and more irrelevent with GPU compute.

I'm sure they will still have one, but I just can't help but feel like a big hw breakthrough with new teck may be just around the corner.
