Wow, this person has both consoles in their possession and has stress tested both against numerous, yet to be released games to be able to say "it's only advantage could be loading times and that's it". Time to wrap up all future console comparison and discussion threads now this expert from the future has spoken.
That 4,8 gb is still an insane increase from last gen. How much difference the double speed of the ps5 ssd will make in practice, is still very much an unanswered question.
There's more than just teraflops, Sony might have a better API or dev kit, rumours are saying Sony's developer environment is better.
That's not really true though. Yes it will load things faster. But at a higher quality? No.
As for Demons Souls exclusivity, its a Sony ip so it would be exclusive.
I.e a really high quality asset can be done on both but the X may just load it slower and require a bit of compression.
It sounds like you are speaking of the sections which can be read almost instantly in comparison to HDDs. Cerny explained this very thoroughly.
Yeah, that's been discussed here before, and it's true. You can see it from the numbers they've published.
It's as serious as every console ever had in history. Uptalk advantages of the console of your team, do the opposite for the other. Every. Console. Generation. And the same is already happening again.
No he said gpus in general, but that was misleading in the least, as the opposite effect can be observed. And with every new gpu generation CU utilization increases too. And Rdna2 will likely be even more CU count dependent with extra compute workloads such as RT, ML and Mesh shaders that are not available on rdna.
I certainly wouldn't emphatically talk about the storage as if it was negligible. PS5 has a faster and seemingly more sophisticated storage solution however the Xbox SSD is no slouch and seems like a good solution. That being said the person you responded to is completely right to say that Xbox is stronger. We know enough from official sources to understand that the Xbox is the stronger box.
You mean like the people that try to claim Sony having a SSD that's twice as fast just means slightly faster loading times and no other advantage?
An SSD is orders of magnitudes better than a spinning disk, considering both latency and bandwidth.
MS has a good SSD solution and that MS will get many of the benefits of fast storage as well as Sony. That's what he is saying.
There are benefits to higher clockspeed, even if increasing clockspeed doesn't scale linear. But as eathdemon said more CU got benefits and Cerny never talked about those nor did he say more CU is bad. Basically he didn't lie, but he didn't objectively compared the drawbacks and benefits either.
I don't think he said this. He just said higher frequency has benefits, which is true. He just left out the part of more CU having benefits, too. I highly rate Cerny and thinks it's fair to do, because as everyone else they need to sell their new product and the flaws of the systems (Xbox, PS5) will be revealed, when they market the PS6, Next Xbox.
Agree.
Because there's only so much data the gpu can consume, and there's no evidence that shows the SX ssd not being able to feed the gpu in mind.
I believe he's referring to stuff like direct storage etc completely ignoring that Sony can and likely will add something similar to their API.
