In which case we would have 2.4 GB/s x 2.5 (SFS)= 6 GB/s for texture streaming on XSX, compared to 5.5 GB/s for texture streaming on PS5 (assuming for course that Sony hasn't came up with a similar technique to SFS, which they might have). Either way, it's looking like both are going to be capable of truly impressive texture streaming. PS5 will for sure have an edge on load times since it's SSD is so fast, but we're still looking at a massive load time decrease over current gen on XSX. |
For sure will be a huge boost from last gen.
Pretty exciting tech all around and games in 9th gen will definitely benefit from considerably higher I/O. Higher quality textures, assets and vastly improved load times. With machine learning it can go even further.
