Heck, I can still brute force past 360 levels of graphics with an overclocked Dual Core and a GTX770, but that's all going to change in the next year. PC hardware right now is all built around brute forcing 60fps and crazy antialiasing and anisotropic filtering into games written for the consoles. Once developers beging optimizing for 8 cores and instant access to 4-5gb of on GPU RAM, PCs will begin struggling and big upgrades will be needed to people's PCs to hang.
It's the reason I've held my dual core as long as I have. No sense in going to to socket 1155 or even 2011, because Intel and AMD will need to respond with better CPUs to match these new consoles.
The low clock speeds on the the new consoles won't really change much for the PC, its easy to just use the 4 cores at much higher clock speeds. Memory wise its a wash as the memory access difference isn't that much and won't affect much as access is still really fast on PC.
