It really doesn't matter because the CPU prices between our builds are about the same, but how does a dual core 3.5 Ghz compare to the 8 core 1.6 Ghz in a PS4? Does hyperthreading really make that big of a difference? |
It's not about hyperthreading but efficiency. The ps4's cores are weak sauce cores, having 8 of them means nothing. On desktop, the closest we have is the A6-5200. It is a quad core running at 2.0ghz (vs ps4's 1.6ghz) but the performance difference is giant compared to the pentium.

And it does matter because the prices doesn't tell the entire story... The Pentium is way faster than the CPU you choose.
