The extra CUs in the PS4 are offset by the ESRAM in the One; I would expect the die size is similar. Sony has more expensive RAM, though.

Is the eSRAM really that expensive in $ terms? Yield issues?

I understood that SRAM was only really 'expensive' in that it chews up masses of die space (which isn't a bad bet going forward because there'll inevitably be a new version at some point with a smaller process)

Yes, my assumption is cost = die size.

I was talking about cost, not performance.
