Editorial notes
Sony describes the console as "centered around a powerful custom chip that contains eight x86-64 cores and a state of the art graphics processor": one chip, not two. The catalog splits it into a CPU record and a GPU record because component kinds are `cpu`, `gpu` and `memory`, and a single record cannot carry both a core count and a compute-unit count. The split is the data model's, not Sony's. No clock frequency is recorded because Sony's releases state none, for either half.
