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).
