On paper it will be aprox 17% more power,but how much of that you can translate to real performance benefit is hard to tell. It all depends how fast the system can feed the CPU,and whether it will be at the expense of the GPU. That depends how fast the cache memory can operate to feed them both. It will no doubt be an improvement,but not 17%.

Well, if that is the case why not some GDDR5 on the side? Would be great for those open worlds...

I have some inclination that it is for VR though.

Yes,of course GDDR5 will help greatly. I actually think it will benefit PS4 slightly more to open uo the 7th core,than it helped Xbox One.
