Bad marketing played with Sony a bad joke: on the Internet, many have already appropriated victory in the first stage of the Oxstgen war Microsoft, because it simply has more teraflops – that is, the graphics core of the Xbox Series X is more productive.
Many developers, both publicly and anonymously through journalists, say that even though the processor and graphics core of the PlayStation 5 is weaker than the Xbox Series X, it is much more advanced in other areas. First of all, in the field of SSD.
The media runs at 5.5 gigabytes per second (and up to 9 GB / s with optimization), which is twice as fast as the Xbox Series X drive (2.8 GB / s and up to 4.6 GB / s with optimization).
On SS, such SSDs are also practically not common.
The Sony console can load and unload colossal amounts of data almost instantly, so developers will not have to use outdated methods of creating games in the open world, which have been used for almost 20 years anyway.
At the same time, of course, it is completely incomprehensible how multi-platform games will work on both consoles, since the Xbox Series X, for example, can become a problem with relatively low SSD speed and different RAM speed, while PS5 is weaker in terms of CPU and GPU.
We are waiting for a rather interesting generation of consoles, where the devices differ not in bare power, but in real features in terms of iron and a different approach to production.
Many developers believe that the PlayStation 5 ultra-fast SSD will be a much more powerful innovation than simply adding power, which Microsoft has basically boasted of. However, while Sony unsuccessfully presents the features of its device to ordinary players.
