PC Excuse my word choice I wanted to post it as quickly as possibe Console/PC pretty much the same thing this gen because the GPU is just a graphics card with 8 GB of DDR5 and the CPU is an multicore x86 processor. They we designed to be a PC in a small box to ease development, in fact the PS4 has improved graphics cards and newer cards will have tech that was introduced for and by SONY.

Just some facts.
- PS4/XB1 GPUs are based on old tech, based late 2011/2012 midrange cards (2 year tech powers the PS4/XB1)
- Mantle, I believe what you are referring is an API. Think of it as special software for designing software.
- Sony doesn't design GPUs.
- AMD designed all the GPUs in the XB1, PS4, and Wii
- Nvidia, is currently the dominant GPU company, had nothing to do with consoles this time around, (Think about it, at least half of installed GPUs are Nvidia cards).

Yes, the CPU/GPU used in the PS4 are slower than the newest cards but they are still using the same architecture that is found in every PC. The multicore CPU is x86 and that is what we use now in PCs. When I say that they use SONY tech I mean that they use tech developed by SONY on their new generation of cards, SONY did invent the CELL processor and the die used to create the PS4 is 28nm like today's high end cards. Things that SONY introduced to the die are being used now on new cards, like volatile bit. Current cards are using GDDR5 just like the PS4. There are other things that are similar but it would take me all night to find where I read them. I don't know much but I know about CPU/GPU and electronics and I am up to speed on how they work, why they work and what the specs are.
If you are trolling me 20/10 to you sir. Well played.
If not, going by the 28nm comment you have no clue, and have drank so much Kool-Aid that you are drowning it.
Knowing how/why the work isn't in question here it's who makes what. Sony only designed the PS4 not the tech that goes into it or the tech that made it possible to manufacturer it.
