So in most cases, similar performance? Or are we going to see higher resolutions in one and not the other, like we did at the start of this gen?

Side-by-side official next gen flagship specs: Xbox Series X and PS5 spec sheets
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
It seems like a given that games will load faster on PS5 and perhaps maybe things like draw distance will be better too, or things popping up in front of you won't be as bad. It all remains to be seen.
sure, there will be differences, but they will use the same APUs. So similar constraints will be in place.
We'll be pixel-peeping and the differences will be less than previous gen as the gap (even if) is much much smaller.
Xbox looks just beastly. Ill definitely have both but lordy I'm so angry at MS for not adding some VR compatibility
We finally know why the XSX lead hardware architect said their clocks are "locked with no variation". He stressed that to DF repeatedly.
The whole point of the proprietary drive is so that it matches the architecture of the Xbox Series X memory architecture. So no, it probably won't offer an upgrade. But it's not a huge deal, they have hardware benefits in other areas.
PS5 has a similar requirement on 3rd party storage, but instead of selling it as a first party product, they are going to be certifying 3rd party storage devices.
He said most of time both work at max clocks. So yes you gonna have both work at max most of time.
The diff is small than Xbox one and PS4 or x and pro. At worst scenario 20% since he said the biggest drop is 10%
You are going to see resolution and or fps differences specially when ray tracing is involved.
Happy to finally see this stuff. It's cool to learn more about what these tech specs mean lol. But also, at the end of the day, all I really care about is software. So while I wish this made a difference, it's mostly nonsense to me. Will be interesting to see how they compare though! Always fun to see new hardware advancements.
Just because it hasnt been talked about, it means it doesnt have it. XBOX WINS! Shut the door ;)
With a machine that powerful, I suspect VR compatibility with existing headsets is not far off.
Thank you, I'm watching it now. Almost missed it, very busy week. :)
This is going to be a tough one for me. Series X looks like the clearly more powerful console, but will likely be more expensive, possibly as much as $600. PS5 looks less powerful, but will likely be cheaper, but, unless they want to eat a loss, will be probably $500. Games-wise, I much prefer Sony's 1st party output, but MS has been building up their 1st and 2nd party studios -- I'll believe it when I see it, though. MS does have Game Pass. That could be huge factor for me, especially if all multiplats run better on Series X. I guess for me it comes down to price and performance and what 1st party games Sony announces. If launch lineup on PS5 looks sparse, I might get a Series X first, so long as it's not crazy expensive.
from the look of things and to put it in simple terms, the 'roads' that connects the storage with the rest of the system need to be fast as well; so you cannot just use a faster drive.
They haven't made it public, but the theory is 9.2TF as some of the leaks originally suggested.
They've been back since half of the last gen and still geting dragged behind.
Err no.. XSX has the power edge on almost everything except SSD.
But yes... probably resolution will be the difference in the beginning (or maybe RT features).
I'm just gonna continue to stick with Xbox/Nintendo next gen, unless there's a worthwhile FromSoft exclusive on PS5.
Seems like the gap could be small compared to what happened this gen, but the weaker and variable CPU/GPU and overall specs on PS5 make it seem like most metrics will leave Xbox Series X ahead in detailed comparisons this time.
Even at 9 TF and less RT capabilities, games are still going to look & play dope as hell on PS5 no doubt.
I think most normal people are more interested in how games play vs. what sales numbers look like.
And Animal Crossing in 2 days! Everyone wins!

well unless i'm wrong on it
Dictator pls clarify
Xbox does all the BVH intersection work off the GPU in it's own accelerator and then "paints" it with the GPU shaders
but if i'm correct, PS5 does all that within the GPU meaning it comes at a cost to the raster
this means there's a chance an xbox game could take a multiplatform game made with PS5 in mind and give it RT for free?
but I want someone to correct me on this
I don't count that. That wasn't out of the gate power dominance. Big difference.
What is this post? Cerny does not run PlayStation. Don't make uninformed ridiculous statements.
The power difference last time was around 50% as well where as now it's what? 14%. Big difference.
Xbox exclusives will show the power difference. Especially now with tech monsters like ninja theory and playground.
While I agree, he did say the downclock should only be 1 or 2 percent.
