The AMD Jaguar lies at the heart of the Playstation 4 (and likely, the XBox 720 Durango) and once you hear that the consoles feature 8 cores, it can sound nothing short of a monster. But is it really? The PS4 and Durango are both rumored to be using the CPU at 1,6GHZ (likely due to heat and yields), but we don't have actual performance numbers from and AMD Jaguar benchmarks. However, there are ways to simulate the numbers -- at least partially.
The Jaguar for the PS4 is 8 cores, which are two Jaguar CPU's packed onto the same APU. The Jaguar generally is a 4 Core CPU, but in the case of the PS4 more power was required. The Jaguar however isn't anything 'new' but rather, a redesign of previous technology -- AMD's Bobcat APU's. The Bobcat featured lower clock speeds, lower IPC (Instructions Per Clock) along with a key difference in the cache. Cache on the Bobcat wasn't Unified unlike the Jaguar, with each core of the Bobcat being allocated 512KB, the Jaguar has 2MB but can be distributed as required.
