I would say their more like the CPU you find in Ultra Books.

Those weak low powered CPUs from Intel.

Like a i5-5200u (the U part is the important part, means its one of those weak lower power cores).

Dispite how much crap people give these Jaguar CPU cores from AMD used in the consoles, their probably better than any Atom CPU was.

The Core chips from Intel have a MUCH higher IPC. The Jaguar was certainly more performant then the Atom CPU's of yore, but the current Goldmont Atoms will be more performant.

In a Console where you dictate everything should be multi threaded, single thread performance doesnt really matter.

So lets look at IPC of both (multi threaded, same clock speeds):

 

Back in 2012-2013, the Ultra Books then where useing CPU's like the   i7-3537U  (2c/4t , 2ghz base, 3.1ghz boost)

And lets find a Jaguar with a 2ghz base.

Athlon 5350 (4c/4t, 2.05ghz base, no boost)

 

Now we have 2 cpus at 2ghz.... lets see if IPC (instructions pr clock) are vastly better (when both are 2ghz).

a CPU benchmark that favors intel (cinebench 11,5 multi threaded) but its easy to find reviews on:

Athlon 5350  scores 2.04 points.

i7-3537U scores 2.89 points.

Thats like a differnce of 40%.

Its def. there, but its not really massive.
