The Xbox Series X will be backwards compatible with all Xbox generations, with some games seeing enhancements like HDR and framerate. These cards are as fast as the internal SSD so all extra storage can be used like internal storage. Xbox is using proprietary expansion cards that come in 1TB increments. If the SSD is approved by Sony to meet speed standards, it can be used to store PS5 games, otherwise the SSD will be used to store PS4 games and to swap installed games off the main SSD. Sony is allowing standard m2 SSD drives to be installed in a bay. The new Ratchet and Clank is an indication of how a game can take advantage of such speed storage.īoth consoles are offering pathways to add extra storage to the console. ![]() This type of storage tech may give an advantage to first party PS5 games that can implement streaming that’s not possible on Series X’s 2.4 GB/s. PS5 is taking load speeds another step further, Sony is including a custom 825 GB NVMe that supports 5.5 GB/s of read/write speed, according to Mark Cerny, this unlocks game design choices that were not possible on any game designed around HDD load speeds. By that inclusion alone, you’ll see load times drop dramatically compared to this generation. The Xbox Series X design has been known for a while, it’s reminiscent of a small form factor PC, with a huge emphasis on cooling vertically.īoth Xbox Series X and PS5 will come with an internal SSD. The sheer size of the PS5 will help the console avoid thermal issues. If you’re planning on getting a PS5 prepreate to make a significant amount of space for it, luckily the PS5 can be set horizontally, giving it some flexibility. The PS5 is looking like the largest gaming console we’ve ever seen. Xbox seems to be heavily focused on thermals and cooling this generation, meaning that power lead will not be hamstrung by throttling.īoth consoles will be capable for 4K, 120 Hz, VRR and HDR so I don’t see these parts of the specs being a deciding factor in the grand scheme as console wars go. ![]() The difference here isn’t massive but expect Xbox to have slightly higher fidelity and framerate on third party games. We’re no Mark Cerny, but from these plebeian eyes, the Xbox Series X is packing more pure power with higher CPU clocks, TFLOPs and CU count. I’ve made a handy infographic summarizing and comparing the two consoles with what we know about the two gaming machines.Ĩx Zen 2 Cores at 3.5GHz (variable frequency)Ĩx Cores 3.8 GHz (3.66 GHz w/ SMT) Custom Zen 2 CPUġ0.28 TFLOPs, 36 CUs at 2.23GHz (variable frequency) Custon RDNA 2 GPUġ2 TFLOPS, 52 CUs 1.825 GHz Custom RDNA 2 GPU We now know about the specs, games and design of these next-gen consoles. ![]() Last week, Sony finally revealed the Playstation 5 along with a slew of games.
