Oh we forgot that you can see the future... But you omiting one thing, Tormentos, those benchmarks were made on I7 proccessors, not on a tablet cpu. Will you claim now that PS4 is equivalent in power to an I7 with 16GB of DDR3 and a dedicated GPU ?
tormentos
No i did not forget that those were made on I7 running under WINDOWS and DIRECT3D something that hit performance on CPU and GPU's,but wait how many tablets have 8 core 2ghz CPU.?
But wait wait again,did you know the PS4 has a chip for OS.? Which mean the complete CPU can be use for gaming.?
Did you know most PC games are GPU bound not CPU bound.?
Did you know the CU on the PS4 are all flexibel and can be use on the CPU side for processing.?
In fact 16GB of system ram on a windows PC for gaming is a complete and utter loss,you can use 4GB and you will get the same results,is not like slow ass DDR3 will allow for those 16GB to be fully use,even less when GPU use their own Ram and not the sytem one,the one on the system are need it for windows and its endless background task.

Note that
1. HSA Bolt runs on WINDOWS i.e. Windows core is not the problem
2. Current C++ AMP runs on DX11 Compute Shaders.
One of the issues with Direct3D is the exposure of GCN's additional hardware features.
In relation to system memory, you must factor in the purpose for large on-chip caches. On-chip caches are use to mitigate against slow memory pool and X86 CPUs like Intel Core i7-3770K has a large on-chip cache (8 MB L3 cache, industry leading speculative data prefetch tech).
The downside for Intel Core i7-3770K's additional hardware is the chip size.


AMD Temash wins the performance per watt and performance per chip size. Smaller chip size usually equals cheaper BOM cost.
Anyway, AMD still plans to release it's "fat" X86 cores i.e. AMD Steamroller.

Sony plans to release AMD Temash SoC based tablet. Sony could release a handheld mini-PS4 type device.
