Xbox 360 used an Intel CPU.

PS3 used the Cell processor but it’s debatable how much that was an asset vs handicap. Total PlayStation sales dropped for that generation vs both PS2 and PS4. The manufacturing costs didn’t fall nearly as fast as expected and it was a poor fit in terms of cross platform development etc.

PS4 moved to AMD.

No. It was a PowerPC based one called, IIRC, Xenon.
