That's where the PS4 and Xbox One bit themselves in the tail. The Xbox One isn't powerful enough to emulate the 360 without cloud support and the PS3's Cell Processor actually outperforms the PS4's CPU.

You realize, that the cell was handling both cpu instruction AND most of the heavy gpu functions right?
Split them up, like theyre meant to be, have the gpu handle gpu tasks and cpu do cpu tasks and the PS4 walks all over the PS3, perfornance wise.

I suspect you went headlong in to this thread with only googlesmarts and trendy nintendo forum soundbytes..

That's why Wolfpack said the Cell outperformed the PS4's CPU. He spoke in terms of emulation, that is made extremely difficult becuase of that. That the PS4 overall has a better performance as the PS3 is no question.
