Yes they have to drop traditional way on rendering. Also UE 5 using PS5 SSD tech. 

Why would they say nice thing for PR, if the reality is like that, did I getting paid if i said Xbox SX has better teraflop than PS5??? The fact that UE 5 were design with PS5 SSD in mind is just fact. 

Just like the PS3 when they dropped the traditional way of handling CPUs for the Cell processor. Oh wait, they didn't lol. News flash, most games are made on PC with PC in mind and then they are ported to consoles. PC focuses on CPU, GPU and Ram (the holy trinity).

Geez, its as if Sony and UE worked together on a project that usually involves exchange in money. Remember when Todd Howard praised the PS3, but yet his games ran like shit on it. 

First,  PS3 did not invent new rendering tech.

second PS3 Cell CPU is actually bad for 3rd party developer, in the other hand PS5 IO/SSD are doing the opposites of PS3 cell , the existent  is there to simplified thing , to simplified game development. It was requested by developer.

PC will copied Sony anyway, they will implemented the same tech on PC in the future PC will implemented PS5 tech. So third party will like it or not adapt to PS5 

PS3 actually a monster but it's dificult for third party to use it because it's complexity. PS5 actually the opposites, PS5 were developed by Developer idea and mind set. Mark Cerny is game developer and at the same time system engineer and hardware engineer. So he design system that benefit developer and efficient.

You're a PC gamer and I'm a tech enthusiast as well. You should know as well that teraflops is a bad indicator of performance in actual games and doesn't always scale in a linear fashion. You even said yourself that components make up performance of machine. I/O was clearly lacking in consoles in 7th 8th gen. Now both consoles are getting SSD's

That's one area I'm genuinely excited for. I don't get why you're so aggressive and dismissive about this. We, as PC gamers should be excited about this and what it can bring to PC's.

Tell me where I said SSD's are going to give the edge for PS5 in all games? I'm fully aware that it isn't going to inherently going to give you more raw performance. I said both with have their advantages. One machine better specs in where it matters GPU and Xbox One Series X will perform better in multiplatform other is more of a mystery. And it goes without saying games is where consoles gamers should go. Not sure where you're going with this..

I have absolutely nothing but praise for the hardware components in the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5, that is hardly being dismissive.

What I am against are the individual people trying to paint one console over the other as being so far ahead of the other, that it might as well be regarded as essentially a 10th gen console. And it's happening on both sides of the console divide... If you are as impartial as I am to console manufacturers, you would be recognizing this trait.

And I have on multiple occasions stated I am excited for next gen and what it means for games.

Wait on the games.

In theory the Xbox Series X should have the edge in things like lighting, where the Playstation 5 should have the advantage in texturing... For multi-plats anyway.

Just waiting on the games, to then break them down and analyze what developers are doing and what they are opting for.

Without a doubt the Playstation 5 has the I/O advantage over the Xbox Series X, even if we did get new details.

But the Xbox Series X also has the computational and memory bandwidth advantage.

They are both solid pieces of kit with advantages/disadvantages, but it's pretty clear they are both going to offer impressive gaming experiences.

You sure about that?

There are some impressive looking Switch games that have employed some very impressive material shaders and other assets considering the hardware it's operating on.

Both consoles are probably very balanced with no "single bottleneck", sure one task or another or one type of approach or another would be inneficient or bottlenecked, but the console itself is a type of "all at once failure" where all elements have been balanced to work on same capacity without limiting one another.

The difference in both consoles architectures is most probably a consequence of the game development design that both parties want to follow and though would be the best bang for buck to achieve. Similar problems (but not equal), with equivalent solution (but not equal).

Remember PS5 has small compute unit than Xbox SX so the bandwidth on RAM is enough also for that, Xbox SX also has split memory for the speed , 10 GB @ 560 GB/s, 6GB @ 336 GB/s

also it doesn't mean that if Xbox has more CU , PS5 cannot do simple lightning effect, the CU already powerful enough to do CG rendering for both, the problem is the more power the GPU is  the more data you need. Especially if you want to make a realistic assets and high texture assets 

also the thing is, world assets like high resolution  texture, geometry , are the most problematic and consumed memory and bandwidth when it come to games. This will help a lot freeing the GPU workload.

 Xbox will do great, it's just depend on the game engine game developer are optimizing for.

I never said there is no impressive games on Switch, but most third party games on switch are ported games from PS3 and PS4, so their games engine are a still a copied method from  mechanical data structures, so no real time data path for assets.
