The eSRAM is not like the SSD.

The eSRAM is not "secret sauce". - The eSRAM was damn important for the Xbox One to reach it's performance level as it was relying on only DDR3 Ram.

The eSRAM also does not possess the functionality to aid in the processing of anything, so it could never make the Xbox One more capable than the GPU with less functional units could allow.

Same goes for the SSD, it doesn't aid in the processing of anything, it doesn't feature the componentry to aid in the processing of data... But what it does do is ensure that the data that needs to be worked on and processed is readily available, efficiently.

Because regardless of how fast a GPU or CPU is... They will waste a ton of clock cycles doing nothing if they do not have the data there instantly on demand, which is why we have a memory hierarchy to reduce the bandwidth and latency penalty of having a chip access data from storage to begin with.

The Playstation 5's SSD will be highly advantageous going forward and the Xbox Series X's additional processing units will showcase their strengths in other areas, both devices are fantastic pieces of technology that Sony and Microsoft have spent years working with AMD on... To constantly belittle or attack either company and it's supporters is silly... Buy the device that has the games you want to play, both will provide a next-gen experience.
