Both are using RDNA, and  that already 100% confirmed, If one of them choose GCN instead RDNA that will be foolish. Even Lisa Su from AMD made that statement at E3 2019 and CES 2019 th. Sony  next gen machine will be using Navi, the same thing also happen when Phil Spencer shows at CES 2019 at AMD press conference when he explained that Xbox will be using Navi (RDNA).

if you said increasing on efficiency , then both  will be efficient and both will be able to perform better then last gen, but comparing between them will still be difficult on real life scenario . We will just have to wait and see on Digital Foundry video and again i mention Digital Foundry LOL because it's really difficult to compare. 

Real performance will be somehow equal with some minor difference like one running 60 fps and one dip at 55 fps ,  unless if both using different architecture (one GCN and one RDNA) then there will be generation difference and generation gap, (like Switch VS PS4/Xbox One graphic comparison).

last gen xbox was dragged through mud due to the power differences (together with higher price tag) and rightfully so. i was having similar arguments with MS fanboys that were arguing this same points, trying to defend the indefensible. it would be very hypocritical to turn around now and say that 30'ish % power difference is negligible. it's just not, it's very significant, even more so when both will share a 90+% similar library of games, meaning all those games are running objectively better on one platform over the other.

i'm very partial to sony's 1st party, care zero so far about any xbox exclusives, so i probably will still pick the ps5 as my main console. this doesn't mean i won't admit what's absolutely obvious IF these specs will be real.

i'm very confident they aren't still, so won't preemptively defend them like some are doing 

You are free to argue if PS5 sit at 7 teraflop while Xbox X at 12, that will be at 40 to 45 percentage difference and that is huge. The reality is if the rumor is true and they are choosing to use the above spec then PS5 is at 9.2 while Xbox is 12 the the difference is just 30%. PS5 posible will have cheaper price than Xbox X (that's a given due to APU size ) . 

Of course we will see a difference but using the number i mentioned above i don't see a big problem especially when PS5 will be price cheaper. Maybe for some , but not all people care. 

I  want PS5 spec and power close to Xbox X spec, (my ideal is close at 10%). But  I am ready to accept anything on reasonable price. For sure we still don't know what the real spec is, others suggest this info was old info from 2017 and some said it's an old info from 2018.  Regardless of that, we don't know anything until Sony unveil and Mark Cerny explain on the stage.
