Xbox Series X's cross-gen approach is robbing players of the next-gen thrill

DF also did a comparison with Star Citizen which has a more one to one example. Remember, the hard drives here are on RAID which makes them a lot faster than the usual hard drive speeds. Also don't forget that this game isn't using any of the technologies and optimizations that will be available next gen.

This also helps on the question that it doesn't compute or shrink GPU/CPU gap, but interfere in the performance in a way that may shrink a little the end result not only loading times.

Yea pretty much. A lot of the times, the GPU renders the frame and then has to wait for the hard drive to catch up. Game devs are really good at masking a lot of the issues with hard drives and building games/engines around them but with the inclusion of killer SSDs, they can focus less on masking issues and focus more on everything else. When next gen comes around and we have engines and games being developed around SSDs, it's really going to push boundaries!
