Microsoft: PS5 can make life difficult for game developers, unlike the Xbox Series X

Less than six months are left before the start of the new generation, but since the consoles are still far from our hands, we do not yet know which of the radically different approaches used Microsoft and Sonywill prove to be more successful. We are talking about the frequencies of the CPU and GPU. While u Xbox Series X they will be permanent PS5 uses variables, in connection with which there is an opinion that the performance declared for the Japanese console of 10.28 teraflops will be achieved only in the “best scenarios”.

In a new interview published on a Spanish site Xataka, Director of Program Management, Xbox Series X Jason ronald said that Microsoft could choose the same approach to achieve a higher theoretical teraflops, but this would make it difficult for developers to optimize their games..

“We focus on streamlining development to provide the best experience for players and not trying to keep up with record numbers. We have always been consistent and stable.

We could use forced or variable clock speed, but the reality is that it would be more difficult for developers to optimize their games, even if it allowed us to boast higher TFLOPS than there already are [в Xbox Series X]. But that is not the point. The most important thing is the gaming experience that developers can offer. “

Ronald also suggested that the net I / O rate for the Xbox Series X, which, according to the official specifications, is inferior Playstation 5does not give the entirety of the picture.

“It [настоящая производительность] may go beyond numbers. Sampler Feedback Streaming (SFS) technology allows you to download highly detailed textures [необходимые в данный момент] and makes the SSD-drive work as additional RAM, which is added to the RAM of the device itself.

We also have a new API called Direct Storage, which gives us direct low-level access to the NVMe controller so that we can more effectively manage I / O operations. “

Both consoles will launch on the Christmas holidays 2023.
