So 100GBs at least of the SSD is reserved for the OS?

I doubt anybody would say that about anything unless it was actually a bag of mashed up arse holes.

I also intend to get both, our opinions are probably more aligned than not. I just happen to think the two systems are closer in terms of capability than you do and I'm also equally impressed by what both have achieved in terms of architecture.

I stand by my assertion on level of detail though. IO remains a major bottleneck where gaming systems are concerned. The bottle neck is reduced by adding a SSD but it's not removed. It's still slower than RAM. The reason...

That last minute RAM change was said to be in response to developer feedback. I expect the series X to be better at ray tracing. I expect the PS5 to produce better object/world detail since it can stream data in faster due to its faster SSD.

Your making assumptions you can back up again, and it just looks, to me at least; like you need one console to be better than the other a little too much. It's not healthy.

The dynamic clock approach is only cont...

Ok thats just down right naughty. I'm praying that Sony makes the side plates replaceable, such an opportunity.

One has an SSD which has at least twice the bandwidth 🤔. Note many of the fastest SSDs on the market come with custom cooling. Some even have active cooling.

Both are fantastic. They just took different approaches.

Oh and I think your being a little liberal with the power percentages to the point of being disingenuous. You don't have to reach that much to convince me that the series X GPU has more compute power.

@Marquinho
The PS5 is only an estimate since no one has actually held one yet. And the Series X is 418 cubic inches.
But this does not tell you the cooling solution is better, as i and others have already stated.

Again, you have no idea what the PS5 cooling solution looks like. You seem to think just because the series x has a nice cooling solution the other console is automatically inferior.

Hardware architecture != Cooling solution. If...

Its harder to fill the extra CUs with useful work that make up those 12tf in the Xbox Series X than the PS5. A point that Mark Cerny made in his presentation. Its easier for a developer to have slightly fewer CUs and higher clocks, there is a trade off though which is the added complexity of the dynamic clocks.

That's not what he said though. He said he thinks its extra work for the developers. He did not say that it won't have it's stated performance.

Also how does the smaller form factor indicate a more efficient cooling solution. Firstly if you consider volume I don't imagine the form factor difference is massive. Secondly one console is running at a much clocks so it will likely need more space for cooling, that doesn't make it less efficient. Thirdly you m...

"When I last mentioned that the ps5 can run 4K at 60fps it had to drop to 1080p to make it happen"

?!?!

My dicks bigger than yours but i like your dick too. "Phil Spencer 2018, 2019, 2020...". Yes someone asked a question, they always do. But he's in control of the answer. He could have stayed classy and just talked about Xbox.

It's called concern trolling.

If history is anything to go by we are not better than this. It emphasises the value of what we have, it can very easily be lost.

This is a terrible port. The only way you wouldn't notice is if you hadn't played it on the Switch.

If the industry were balanced about it I wouldn't have a problem. The problem I have is it's just an echo chamber. There are no apposing views whether you agree with them or not.
