Xbox Series X Already Has PS5 Beat When It Comes To This Crucial Spec

I just want to know how much this rectangle is going to cost me

Now I just need to see a price and some new first party games.

The games coming out of Xbox game studios will be the ones to show off the difference in power.

Phil said they wouldn't be beaten on power or price... And I doubt either of these things will be cheap. But I think it will be worth it. At least next gen won't start out the gate as weak as this one did

@TheNewButler I stopped watching because i found it a bit monotonous, and it went over my head.

But what was clear was Mark Cerny really believes that the blazing fast ssd is a game changer. You're right tho in seeing how that translates.

Ultimately it'll be seeing the same 3rd party games running side by side, and seeing a load comparison. If PS5 doesn't load and xbox takes 4 seconds will that really be a big deal? Microsoft are talking about speed as well but not to the extent Sony is. Ultimately, when the games start to be unveiled we will be able to judge. But both of them sound great.

@SuperNintendoMii
Certainly not. Not by a longshot. MS understands the importance of controlling the narrative and won't let the internet lead the conversation.

What you also have to remember is that the PS5 will peak at 10.28tflops but with its variable frequency, it can and will be lower at times. Part of the reason it can run at such a high frequency is that it doesn't run at that speed constantly and will vary according to load and necessity.

The Series X also has a faster CPU and 10GB of its RAM is higher bandwidth too - and that 10GB is exclusively used for gaming - not the system. With advancements in rendering methods, VRS, DLSS etc, the difference the extra power has may not be obvious - even in a side by side view. It also seems that Sony are more concerned by making sure PS4 games run like they do on PS4 and BC is more 'impressive' on Series X with added benefits - including adding HDR too...

On the subject of the SSD, MS's solution seems to be more about what's available and ready now - where as Sony's is proprietary and could be more expensive per TB for what could end up being little more than a second or two saving... Its not as if the Series X is a slouch with loading times....
