I've got a similar question, but I'm actually looking for something very specific - I'm looking for a 450watt FSP 1U PSU in case I decide to Frankenstein my current case (an MSI Nightblade MI2.)

On the PS4 the hardware reserves between 2.5-3.5GB. It's an even 3GB on the Xbone. Both give access to seven out of eight cores, but the Xbone has a slight clock advantage (1.75GHz vs 1.6Ghz). All that aside, these are both older architectures and they're pretty even with an old Alienware Alpha...

True! Both systems devote a portion of memory and at least a single core to operating system functions, but it tends to vary across system updates. Typically, I think it's no more than two cores and two gigabytes of ram on the PS4 side of the coin. In the case of that hardware, there's also a...

A bit off topic here, I just received an MI2 bare bones kit earlier today, and it's a damned aggressive looking little case (I can't unsee 'dorky Batman' when I look at the MI3.)

It's actually 1.6Ghz for standard PS4 and 2.13 for the PS4Pro. Both the CPU and GPU also have direct access to the main GDDR5 RAM pool (8GB). It's some fairly interesting architecture, honestly.
