What a shame! What a fraud!
A fraud this console really is.
Cheap, slow AMD hardware. A custom AMD APU it's still going to be a slow product. The A10-5800K was released a few months ago and her it is:

4739 the benchmark score is. The new AMD custom APU for Sony might get 5500 ? 5800 ? Maybe.
And an Intel Core i7-3770 instead:

At least 2 times faster on synthetic benchmarks.
And LGA2011 Core i7 with 6-core and Quad-Channel 52GByte/s bandwidth DDR3 are even faster.
