, SIE announced the listing information of PlayStation 5 (hereinafter referred to as PS 5), confirming that it will be the first to be listed on November 12 (Thursday) in the United States, Japan and other 7 countries. The built-in UHD Blu-ray standard version is priced at US$499.99, and the digital version of the console is priced at US$399.99. In this article, Polar Bear One compares the simple differences between the PS 5 dual version and the Xbox Series X and Xbox series S dual versions. .
To be fair, the specifications of Xbox series X and PS 5 should have their own advantages and disadvantages. Both use restrained AMD Zen 2 octa-core CPU, but Microsoft ’s custom AMD Navi architecture GPU unit is better than PS 5’s RDNA 2 GPU brings a theoretical 16% performance advantage. But the GPU clock of PS 5 is 2.23GHz, which is much higher than Xbox's 1.825GHz. The Xbox Series X uses a 1TB SSD hard drive, and the IO throughput is 2.4GB/s (raw) and 4.8GB/s (typical value for compressed data). The SSD IO throughput of PS 5 is 5.5GB/s (raw) and 8-9GB/s (typical value for compressed data).
These prove several things. The Xbox Series X’s game processing performance is faster, and the screens have advantages and disadvantages. However, the PS 5 is significantly better than Xbox in the smoothness of game loading and scene switching. And PS 5 supports the latest hardware accelerated ray tracing processing, up to 8K or 4K 120Hz variable update rate screen output. Equipped with a DualSense wireless controller that supports haptic feedback, but it is only backward compatible with PS4 game software. It is not compatible with the latest Xbox console for 4 generations of games. There is a table made by a foreigner. OK, for your reference:
What about Xbox Series S? To put it simply, the Series X has a weaker screen effect, so there is no need to compare it with the PS 5 digital version, because the PS 5 digital version is basically the PS 5 without the disc version. Even so, Microsoft claims that the processing power of Xbox Series S is 4 times that of Xbox One, and the game runs at a frame rate of up to 120fps, so Microsoft players can directly make a choice.
