Twice the GPU power is not enough to run games at 4K.

Well its probably good enough to run a current 1080p/60fps PS4 game at 4k/30fps.

They really shouldnt call it the 4k in my opinion. It wont have much 4k content for gaming.

On a side note, Xbox could probably gain some ground if they also launch a more powerful X1 for $299-350. They would lose money but gain in userbase.

There is no current AMD chip that's twice the GPU power of the PS4 (1152 SPs) so it's hard to look for PC benches searching a yes or not answer. That theoretical GPU would fall between the 380X (2048 SPs) and the 390 (2560 SPs), and there's a noticeable gap between those two cards without even counting that the PS4.5 chip would run at a lower frequency too.

I find it hard to believe, to be honest.
