Anyone know what actual changes this may make in terms of performance in games, UI and application use?

I don't understand why some people are saying it may make UI slower. Thought an extra core may give it more of a performance boost not the opposite.

Not being funny, just saying I don't understand how it technically works so having someone explain could help me understand it better.


None. The 2 cores was for futureproofing, Sony went over zealous with memory/processing to prevent another PS3 ui debacle. Insiders only claimed it was ever using one core, I'm suprised it took this long honestly. I figured they might be saving it for VR, but it looks like that's not the case.

If they use resources dynamically they won't need to intentionally allocate resources, but would be more difficult to code I guess.
