0.15 will do nothing. |
15% by definition is not nothing. Hell, a lot of times the highest end GPUs and CPUs on PCs are only seperated by 15% or less, but the top-end product sells for stupidly high prices (and no, I'm not saying that X1 is superior overall, I'm well known for documenting the overall superiority of PS4 architecture for 8th gen since the info first starting coming out).
In the vast majority of games, the GPU is the bottleneck though, and in that respect the PS4 has a dramatic advantage. However, it cannot be denied that in some situations, CPU bottlenecking will occur, and in these events, you will have a 15% CPU advantage (albeit reduced by lower bandwidth memory, which will affect things differently depending on situation/coding).
In the case of FO4, it looks like the graphical side is not really very taxing at all. Most likely development began with 7th gen consoles in mind right after FO3. And the engine is a really old one, albeit with some additional tweaks over the years. It's definitely a CPU hog.
