Welcome to another amazing question “Will you buy a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X immediately once released” Your opinion is important to us! Here you’ll find a number of different community polls, put together by your Stig team. Why don’t you spare a couple of minutes to take part in one of them? We’re looking forward to your participation!
Both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X are supposed to be extremely powerful gaming consoles, whose games are meant to enthral us more than ever before. The hardware and performance data of the two consoles is impressive; however, one shouldn’t attach too much importance to marketing and “Teraflops” values. Far more important than that is the interplay of each individual piece of hardware, and that’s where the big differences between the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X lie. Nevertheless, here are the bare figures:
| PlayStation 5 | Xbox Series X | |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Zen 2 (8-Core) | AMD Zen 2 (8-Core) |
| CPU Clock Speed | 3.5 GHz (SMT) | 3.8 GHz (3.6 GHz SMT) |
| GPU | AMD RDNA 2 | AMD RDNA 2 |
| Compute Units / Shader | 36 / 2.304 Cores | 52 / 3.328 Cores |
| GPU Clock Speed | 2.23 GHz (variable) | 1.825 GHz |
| GPU TeraFLOPS | 9.2 (10.3 with Boost Mode) (4.2 Playstation 4 Pro) | 12.1 (6.0 Xbox One X) |
| Memory | 16 GB GDDR6 | 16 GB GDDR6 |
| Memory Bandwidth | 448 GB/s | 10 GB 560 GB/s, 6 GB 336 GB/s |
| SSD | 825 GB | 1000 GB |
| SSD Speed | 5.5 GB/s 8–9 GB/s Compressed | 2.4 GB/s 4.8 GB/s Compressed |
| Optical Drive | 4K Blu-ray | 4K Blu-ray |
| External Storage Support | NVMe-SSD-Slot | 1 TB SSD Expansion Card |
Do let us know in the comments why you chose one console over the other! Was it the integrated hardware? Maybe it was the exclusive games or the controller? Or is there perhaps a totally different reason for your decision?
The Playstation 4 Pro currently costs £349.99 in the Days Gone Limited Edition SteelBook Bundle. The Xbox One X in the Gears 5 Limited Edition bundle is available for £375.00. Status: May 2, 2020.
I’ll wait and see if the PS5 is really backwards compatible. That’s the killer argument for me. At the moment I’m still playing on the PS3, then I would just skip the 4. If that’s a hardware solution and not some software rubbish that didn’t work anymore after a few updates
