Think about it a little more.
The PS4 is 90-100w of power usage, on 28nm.
How are you going to get that down to 3watts limit most smart phones have? in just 2 years? your not.
Even with 28nm --> 14nm FinFETs, you wont gain more than a 50% reduction in power consumption.
that 90watts the PS4 uses -> 45watts in about a years time or so.
To get a PS4 down to 3 watts for a smart phone,... you would need new technology, better than what we re useing now to make chips.
I dont even think at 7nm (which intel might at some point reach) will be able to make a PS4 use that little power.
You want a smart phone as strong as the PS4? give it 20-30 years and MAYBE... you ll see it then.
