Here is post from another dev Remedy explaining how the PS5 SSD might not be as fast at loading as some people think.

Sigh. (This will at least temporarily avoid your posting crap links). Take a pen and write this down at least 1000 times on every wall in your flat:

It is NOT about load times. It is about seamlessly streaming assets without the cpu taking any part of it.

Do you really think Cerny designed the entire chain of hardware (worth several Zen2 cores) just to load a game half a second faster than the competition (of which he had no knowledge at all when he figured out the hardware)?

My guess is that he is doing the best with the budget and target price point Sony gave him. The console is faster but the graphics and processing ceiling is still below Series X, which has always been the measure of superior specs gen after gen. 

It’s in Cernys interest, as well as your own, to talk up the one aspect the console has over the competition. 

The only question is how much this will show in the multiplats. I’m sure exclusives for each side will leverage the consoles capabilities.
