I think this is the most technical thing I've ever heard at a mainstream Apple keynote.

People still believe in the Megahertz Myth today.... With Wii U. Except it's the Gigahertz Myth.

Actually there is a separate processor that will handle the streaming function as well as background downloads.

Just like the 8gb Vram, the 4 extra cores will be use on features outside of games like the share button and operating system. Even with the tri core processors the 360, it was no better than a single core Pentium 4. Even the Broadway with the OoOE on the Wii, it was only 20% less powerful than the in order Xenon and Cell.

It is two 4 core packages put together.
You are telling me that the AMD 8 Core CPU in the PS4 doesn't have any advantages over the Wii U's CPU?

Could be that 8 core processor is faster- but you have facts:
WiiU has 3 far stronger cores, than 1 jaguar core! Thats fact, yes it is. In Neogaf they have benchmarks of WiiU-CPU. And they beat Bulldozer, they beat Bobcat in core vs. core compare!
WiiU has 1 MB Cache per Core. It can access on 3 MB in total. Jaguar has only 4 MB for 8 Cores, 0,5 MByte per Core! And you can program better for a 3-core then a 8-core =>efficiency, the more cores, the less efficiency! And: is not real 8 Core!

I meant the Xenon. The names for the CPU/GPU in the 360 are so close.

Yeah, but compare it to the 720/PS4's 8 Core AMD processor.

I don't think the video is meant to be a truly accurate representation, lol.
