It seems like Sony has finally revealed the clock speed of Playstation 4's Jaguar CPU. As per the details revealed by Sony UK via their Google Plus page, Playstation 4 CPU speed is 43 times more than that of Playstation 2, and it runs at 8 x 1.6 GHz speed.

The text shared by Sony UK via Google Plus reads something like this: "The PS4, with a clock speed of 8 x 1.6 GHz (or 43X the PS2)" and "2 + 2 doesn't always = 4 "

On technical front what that exactly mean we have no idea, all i can add is that it seems to be running at a base clock speed of 1.6 GHz on a a 2.75 Ghz capable chip.

And for comparison purpose, at launch Xbox One CPU was clocked at 1.6GHz, whereas GPU was clocked at 800MHz. Microsoft increased Xbox One CPU speed by 7% and now it clock speed is 1.75GHz.

NOTE: Before jumping into conclusion that Xbox One CPU speed is more than Xbox One, i advice readers to read a recent benchmark report Substance Engine.
