"Next-gen APUs will be in the 300mm2-405mm2 range, up from the 300mm2-360mm2 range of the current-gen chips. "
After Xbox showed off the photo of the chip, people have estimated it to be upwards of 420mm^2.
Supposedly its rumored to have 56 CU's (compute units) (3584 shaders) in the GPU portion.
Sony is only useing 36 CU's but running at higher speeds (smaller chip to save costs), downsize is its not as power effecient to do this.
Sony chip might be like ~270-280mm^2.
Not sure if that alone is enough to account for a 100$ differnce in price, but it could.
To put things into perspective:
PS4 die size at launch was 348mm^2
XB1 die size at launch was 363mm^2
PS4pro = 325mm^2
XB1X = 359mm^2
