So is the GPU and CPU of the Series X a minor advantage of PS5's? I'm genuinely asking. I hear a lot of PS fans say how big the SSD is over XBox's. I also hear Xbox fans say how much more vast the GPU/CPU is over. Won't the GPU/CPU of PS5 offer the same thing as Series X, but on a smaller scale?

Everything that can be done on one console can be easily be done on the other, it's just at what costs. The only benefit is some features might be better on one console over the other. At least for PS5 fans, they should always be the clear winner when it comes to load time. But, don't forget that XSX is going to enjoy much faster load time and the performance of a dedicated SSD when we move to next-gen. When it comes to better games performance Faster GPU & CPU > SSD. 

Some games are more GPU/CPU intense. When it comes to first-party PS5 games, they will build the game from the ground up to move as much of the workload to the SSD. Cross-platform or third party games development on the other end might still be targeting PC HDD, that's why PS5 SSD will be even less of an advantage other than better load times to boost games performance. 

also SSD is not just loading but streaming assets , texture, etc. it will be resulting on better quality assets , high texture resolution , more dense, more real life like and photo realistic. 

So in worst case scenario we will see 1400p on PS5 with 8k texture and large  triangle account,  while on Xbox SX we will see around 1500p  with 4k texture and small triangle account. Both will have the same Frame Rates. with slightly better Ray Tracing on Xbox SX.
