| curl-6 said: So @Pemalite now that we have spec sheets for both systems, what's your take on what they mean in terms of comparative real world performance, as one of our resident tech experts? |
With the information we have right now... Sony's Playstation 5 handily beats the Xbox Series X when it comes to streaming assets into DRAM due to having twice the drive interface bandwidth, so in RAM limited scenarios, the Playstation 5 should have the advantage... And in 10 years time, these consoles WILL be DRAM limited.
13.5GB available for games isn't allot of Ram in 2020. It's going to be extremely tiny by 2030...
The SSD will make up for that, just like mechanical hard drives in the Xbox One and Playstation 4... But they only help mitigate a problem, not resolve it entirely.
For sheer visual fidelity at this stage, the Xbox Series X has the clear advantage due to more known functional units, maybe 20%, maybe 10%. Need more low-level information on the hardware to know by how much and what scenarios they relate to.
I would assume developers will push for visual parity and the difference will just be framerate or resolution.
Either way, whichever console you buy, it will be a good piece of kit.
