To support PS VR and 4k. 

4K Resolution

The PS4 will be enabled for 4K resolution for videos, the interface, and movies through Hulu or Netflix, but it will not have the capability to display games in 4K.

In the same interview where Yoshida revealed more about the PS4's 3D capabilities he also stated:

"The PS4 supports 4K output, but only for photos and videos; not games. PS4 games do not work on 4K

Quote: "Both PS4 variants will also support its forthcoming virtual reality headset, which will go on sale later this year."

Smoother & Improved graphics

 

Have you ever played game on PC? The added power can be used to improve graphics, smoother framerate, more in game detail  & faster load times. 

Playing experience is going to be an issue expecially if you plan on getting PSVR.   

 

Base PS4PS4K NeoBoost
CPU Eight Jaguar cores clocked at 1.6GHz Eight Jaguar cores clocked at 2.1GHz 1.3x
GPU 18 Radeon GCN compute units at 800MHz 36 'improved' GCN compute units at 911MHz 2.3x FLOPs

Well, according to Sony's own documents, there is a focus on delivering 4K gaming content, though upscaling to UHD resolution is likely. Owners of 1080p screens can expect benefits too, explicitly stated as:

  • Higher frame-rates
  • More stable frame-rates
  • Improved graphics fidelity
  • Additional graphics features
