Speed is always great and if that speed can extend to all parts of the system then the PS5 probably can edge out the Xbox.  If that speed does not extend to all parts of the system and you have bottlenecks then it gets wasted and the PS5 will only be fast in certain scenarios.  

One thing that interest me is MS making it very important how their system can maintain its speed at all times with no drop.  I wonder if they were trying to communicate that their IO may not be as fast as the competition but its maintained throughout all parts of the design.

Didn't Nintendo win this gen with their Vita.



I'm excited to see the change in level design that the SSD will bring. I feel like its something we can't truly understand until we experience it ourselves.

I wouldn't discount a PS5 Pro down the line, either. That way, Sony eventually wins in power and speed lol.



None, as always with all generations, exclusive games will dictate the outcome, of which xbox will have no exclusives for 2 years. So there's really no competition there.

I still will choose xbox if ps5 doesn't have vapor cooling and replaceable/upgradeable graphics card

PS - Just read that ps5 is not actually 10 tf, that's only overclocked sometimes, not at all times like 12tf on xbox. More and more Im leaning towards xbox.

Only PS5 have a chance of having LoD so it win by default.

The 5.5Gb/s of the SSD is sustained, same as 2.23Ghz of the GPU the frequency drop of it and CPU will be minimal and rarely from what Cerny said and shouldn't impact performance.

But I expect Xbox to perform at least 10% better than PS5, but yes PS5 games to load faster and RAM too be better used due to that faster SSD and its solutions.

Xbox Series X has the technical advantage.



--::{PC Gaming Master Race}::--

I doubt many will be switching systems next gen. I think Sony has a $399 price in mind for PS5, repeating the successful model of the PS4. My guess is that the XSX is going to be $499-$549. EU and Japan will still be Sony's to lose, while US and UK will be probably be a close battle. In the end, it will come down to what it always does, games, games, and more games.

My understanding is that more CU's with a slower clockrate usually beats less CU's with a higher clockrate even with equal flops, and XSX has a nearly 2 tflop advantage. On top of that, the PS5 is using boost clocks to arrive at their figures, so there will be times when it is outputting less power than advertised, if the system starts to get too hot. So yeah, XSX definitely has the technical advantage, except for PS5 having a faster SSD.

Now if we're talking sales, obviously Sony has the advantage due to a much strong worldwide presence and an already established quality 1st party. That being said, Xbox is a in a much better situation sales wise than they were this gen; they didn't botch the reveal (quite the opposite in fact), they have the specs crown with XSX (and will also have the cheapest next-gen console if Series S is real), and their 1st party for next-gen is looking way stronger than it was for XB1, thanks to multiple studio acquisitions and hiring sprees. I think that will be enough for MS to take back the US and possibly the UK, while also gaining some ground in mainland Europe and the rest of the world.

So you got your understanding wrong, yes XSX will be more powerful. But the higher clock benefits more than the higher CU count (look DF analysis), surely it won't cover the difference of CUs that large (36 vs 52 or something like that). PS5 won't have problem with temperature, it will work the same on the fridge or hot cabinet. The fluctuation on the frequency will be small percentage to up to 10% saving on power consumption, because power will be constant (as will be heat generation on the unit) so when you get near the limit on CPU it may drop the GPU a little.

Proper reveal haven't occured yet if we look at the number of people reacting and hyping to both. But yes I do expect formal reveal and 1st party games for Xbox to be much better this time around.

Well blast processing was never a thing i honestly cared about, so id take the power over speed.
