An older article on extremetech on the XONE says that the increase in the CPU speed of the XONE won't matter one bit. I find it interesting that Sony hasn't released the clock speeds of the CPU and the GPU on the PS4. It also notes that the XONE is underclocked, possibly to allow for easier heat dissipation. The latter point is probable, because of M$'s experience with the red ring in the current X360. I read elsewhere (don't remember where) that the XONE is built like a truck (similar to the oritinal XBox). Hope that is true.

I'm no expert, but from what I could gain from all of the recent articles, was not that the CPU bump really matter at all, but that the chip and the way it's build is so large and unknown that they really will not know it performance until they have hands on with it. Also, and the biggest unknown, was one of the critical elements of the chipset. They were making it seem that much of the possible performance levels will depend on what this unknown element is. IDK, but several tech-expert are now saying it "could be" stronger than first thought.

XBONE will still have features as a home console that the PS4 simply wont have. PS4 might be a stronger pure gaming machine, but it seems the XBone will do a lot more when I am not playing a game.

That's ok.. Why do you think I have a raspberry pi hooked up to my TV upstairs, with a 2 TB hometheater computer in the basement pushing my media? XBONE IS 4 n00bs.

But seriously, if people are spending $100 more for a lesser game console because it does other things besides play games.. More power to them. I'll hang on to my $30 Raspberry Pi with XBMC.
