While the cpus will roughly be the same the PS4's GPU and memory looks to be a good bit stronger.
--The PS4 GPU has 18 execution units versus Xbox One's 12. This makes it around 50% more powerful;
--The PS4 carries 8Gb of GDD5 memory while the Xbox One uses 8Gb of slower DDR3 RAM. This is very fast memory of the kind used in top-end GPUs, but here accessible both to the GPU and CPU. Memory bandwidth on the PS4 will thus be around 3 times higher in the PS4 than in the Xbox One. The Xbox tries to somehow compensate for this with 32Mb of eSRAM, but this will both make the system harder to explore and optimize and not nearly match the PS4;
