As far as the CPU goes I am leaning towards Power7+ CPU for Xbox 3.

Well here is how I see Xbox 3/PS4 hardware so far.

XB3
8 core Power7+ with 32 threads
AMD 8870M(992 Gigaflops) + Another GPU. I am thinking AMD 8850 (2990 Gigaflops)

Roughly equal to about 3982 Gigaflops

PS4
AMD Kaveri x2(920 Gigaflops x2 = 1840 Gigaflops) with 8 cores roughly 16 threads
AMD 7970M or other unknown GPU

Roughly equal to about 3940 Gigaflops

I know if you watch rumors like I do. That 1840 number should catch your eye for PS4 spec.

x86 vs. RISC at its best. Honestly if what I have listed is coming it certainly explains why there was an article claiming Xbox 3 would be twice as powerful. Wrongful claim if indeed true specs.

The CPUs would likely add in an extra .2 for Sony and .2xx for Microsoft. Its unknown if Gigaflops go up in Power7+ CPUs from Power7 design. Either way Power7 has 264 Gigaflops so its going to be making both consoles clock in at 4.1-4.2 Tflops roughly.

Is this really possible with an affordable price?

Lets take rumored specs.
Well AMD's current APUs cost no more than $130 for top tier AMD K10. So times 2 = $260 + say 200 for GPU as well at $460 bucks. Add in Blu-Ray. $50 at most, RAM $50 at most. $560 + Other components $unkown price. I suspect $625ish price for production of PS4/XB3 this time around with both selling with $499/$399 editions.
