Well if Sony plan to continue to sell PS "4.0" alongside PS "4.5" (just at cheaper price point)
then it's plausible the 4.0 APU could benefit from same process shrink that the 4.5 APU will use.

I think they talked specifically talked about new SOC wins, not about old SOCs in smaller NM process.

When someone wants to bring a current SOC to a new process, the chip has to be redesigned because not every components reacts the same way (some parts get smaller than others). A new design is usually called a new product, and it would also explain why there will be only a 15% increase in revenue despite having 3 new products: one or two will act as replacements for the older parts.

OT: We'll have to wait and see what are those 3 new SOCs and if the three of them are for consoles, because while every AMD console product is a SOC, not every SOC from AMD is for consoles.
