PS5 vs Xbox Series X - FULL Comparison!

**A Comprehensive Comparison: PlayStation 5 vs. Xbox Series X**

**Introduction**

The battle between the PlayStation 5 (PS5) and the Xbox Series X (Xbox SX) is heating up as both consoles reveal their full specifications. While some may claim that one console outshines the other, this article delves into each aspect of these next-generation gaming machines to provide a clear comparison.

**1. CPU Performance**

Both consoles feature powerful CPUs based on AMD's Zen 2 architecture. The PS5 boasts a 3.5 GHz clock speed with SMT enabled, while the Xbox SX offers a slightly faster 3.8 GHz without SMT. However, Microsoft confirmed that enabling SMT drops its CPU to 3.6 GHz, making the performance difference minimal. Sony's approach ensures lower fan noise, enhancing user experience.

**2. GPU Performance**

The PS5 and Xbox SX have distinct GPU architectures. The PS5 delivers 10.28 teraflops with 36 compute units running at 2.23 GHz, whereas the Xbox SX offers 12.16 teraflops using 52 compute units at 1.8 GHz. While raw teraflops suggest a lead for Xbox SX, Sony's newer DNA 2 architecture may offer better efficiency, as seen with previous console improvements.

**3. Memory and Bandwidth**

Both consoles feature 16GB of GDDR6 memory. The PS5 uses a single 256-bit bus running at 448 GB/s, providing high-speed data access. Conversely, the Xbox SX splits its memory into two channels: 10GB at 560 GB/s for GPU and 3.5GB at 336 GB/s for CPU, averaging similar bandwidth to PS5.

**4. Storage Solutions**

Storage is a standout feature for the PS5, equipped with a custom SSD offering up to 5.5 GB/s read speeds, making it faster than Xbox SX's 2.4 GB/s module. The PS5 supports third-party SSDs, while Xbox SX uses proprietary modules, limiting flexibility.

**5. Special Features**

The PS5 introduces the Tempest Engine for advanced 3D audio and haptic feedback in its controller, enhancing immersion. Its SSD can function as RAM, potentially boosting game performance. The Xbox SX excels with backward compatibility across generations and a lower latency controller, ideal for competitive gaming.

**6. Exclusive Games**

Exclusive games significantly influence console choice. PS5 is expected to launch next-gen titles like Godfall, while Xbox SX lacks exclusives for the first two years, focusing on cross-platform releases.

**7. Price and Value**

Pricing details are pending, but estimates suggest the PS5 may cost around $499, while Xbox SX offers a range from $300 to $600. The PS5's premium features justify its price, whereas Xbox SX caters to budget-conscious buyers with two models.

**Conclusion**

The choice between PS5 and Xbox SX hinges on priorities. If exclusive next-gen titles and cutting-edge features like 3D audio and haptic feedback are crucial, the PS5 leads. For cross-platform play, extensive backward compatibility, and varied pricing options, the Xbox SX is preferable. Both consoles offer impressive upgrades, setting new standards for gaming.

**Final Thoughts**

Whether you're a die-hard PlayStation fan or an Xbox enthusiast, both consoles promise to elevate your gaming experience. The decision ultimately rests on which features resonate most with your preferences and needs. Stay tuned for more updates as the launch approaches!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ensony has finally unveiled the full specs of the PS 5 at an event last week so now that we know the full specs of both the PS 5 and the Xbox series X which one is actually more powerful so if you might have already heard that the Xbox series X is more powerful than the PS 5 however there are quite a few ways in which the PS 5 significantly tops the Xbox so without any further ado here are the full specs the full spec in person between a PS 5 and the Xbox series X covering the CPU the GPU the memory the storage special features exclusive games and finally the price so sit back relax stay home grab that hand sanitizer and enjoy if you on a supported channel and everything we do here at synoptic definitely do consider becoming a member for the 0.99 pounds a month which is actually less than a cup of coffee per month you not only support a channel but he also get access to those really cool badges that actually evolved the longer you've November 4 and these badges will always be displayed right next to your name click the join button below to get started ok so starting up for the CPU they're both doing very very well here they both feature a desktop class aim the processor that's based on the new AMD Zen to architecture and they're both third-generation AMD rise and processors with eight cords which means that are actually very similar to the AMD rights and 730 700 X processor which is a very very well received CPU now it's nowhere near as powerful as the 3700 X as the clock speeds are quite a bit lower well with 3.5 gigahertz clock speed on a PS 5 versus a 3.8 gigahertz clock speed on the Xbox series X so from this alone you think that the Xbox is quite a bit more powerful CPU wise which to some extent it's true however Microsoft has indeed confirmed that if SMT or a simultaneous multi-threading is enabled these speeds would actually drop to 3 point 6 gigahertz so nice 3.5 hours clock speed is indeed with multi-threading enabled so in this case considering that most applications and games only be taking advantage of multi-threading difference in CPU power isn't as high anymore although the Xbox Series X still has a slight advantage CPU is over the PS 5 now something that sony has mentioned is that our system is capable of turbo boosting however at the highest or boost clock speed would actually still be at 3.5 gigahertz but it simply means that games will only run as we have a 5 gigahertz if they really have to because otherwise they will run at a lower clock speed in order to keep the system cool and also bring the fan noise down the Xbox Series X will be running at a 3.5 Garrett's clock speed pretty much all the time so slightly higher performance CPU wise on the Xbox but a lower fan noise on the PS 5 so now what about the GPU well if we take a look at the Roger power the ps5 has 10.28 teraflops while the Xbox Series X has 12.16 turn flops now that's a 1.88 difference in raw performance in terms of teraflops which is actually pretty massive for example the ps4 at 1.84 teraflops in total while the ps4 pro had 4.2 so if you just take a look at the term flops alone the difference in performance between a PS 5 and the Xbox series X is almost as big in performance as the difference between a ps4 and the ps4 Pro however when mark Cerny the PS 5 is lead system architect presented a PS 5 on stage last week and to talk about why the PS 5 has this lower number of teraflops first he mentioned how the new GPU architecture that are using which is our DNA zoo by the way which is a desktop class GPU architecture which isn't even out for pc yet our DNA to teraflops are not equal to GC n turf flops GCM being the previous architecture that was used on the ps4 and the ps4 Pro long story short even if the PS 5 looks to be 2.44 times more powerful GPU is than the ps4 Pro it is actually way way more than that as our DNA 2 is a much newer architecture now when you calculate the raw performance inter flops of a GPU you need to take a few things into account the biggest ones being the number of ciues or compute units and the frequency of which those you use are running at so if you take a look at these the PS 5 has 36 compute units running at two point 23 gigahertz while the Xbox series X has 52 compute units running at one point eight to five gigahertz mark Cerny did say that I made a choice because he prefers to prioritize a higher clock speed to a higher number of compute units and in a way I do agree think of compute units as a core in a processor many applications and especially games they do prefer using a lower number of cores but at a higher clock speed as opposed to a high number of cores but at a lower clock speed of course that here we're talking about GPU not CPU where things are quite a bit different so let's take a look at the Xbox one X versus the ps4 Pro as most of you might know the xbox1 X is melted Lemoore powerful than a ps4 pro is being able to play most third-party games at native 3840 by 2160 resolution or full 4k in some cases even at 60 frames per second such as in for night while the ps4 Pro can easily do 2560 by 1440 but it does have some serious issues with anything higher natively and the Xbox one X had 6th Earl of the GPU compute power with 40 computes units at one point 172 gigahertz vs. 4.2 teraflops with 36 computes units at 911 megahertz that a ps4 pro had as you can see the higher clock speed and those four extra compute units made a pretty massive difference on the Xbox one X so Sony might be right about something here that a higher clock speed for the computer units is usually preferred to a higher number of compute units but at a lower clock speed so even though on paper the difference between the difference in turn flops between a PS 5 and the Xbox series X looks massive in reality this might not be as high however I would still put my money on the Xbox series X being slightly more powerful in terms of our performance compared to the PS 5 albeit a lower performance difference or gap than what it looks to you on paper ok so what about the RAM well both the PS 5 and the X plus series X now have 16 gigabytes of GDR 6 memory which yes it is not rare but video memory however part of it will be used as RAM for the system while the rest will be used in games as actual video memory and they're both dealing with this approach quite differently you see the PS 5 uses 16 gigabytes of ddr2 memory on a 256-bit memory interface running at 448 gigabytes per second now this is insanely fast just to give you guys an idea the original ps4 had 8 gigabytes of gddr5 memory on a 256-bit memory interface but running at 176 gigabytes per second of the ps4 pro had a two hundred seventeen point six gigabytes per second bandwidth so yeah as you can see the PS 5 is significantly more powerful and it has a significantly higher bandwidth gpy is then even the ps4 pro now Sony hasn't really said how much of the 16 gigabytes pool would be available to developers but it is expected to remain this as before with three point five gigabytes used by the OS and the rest so 12.5 gigabytes in this case available for developers on Microsoft's and things are quite a bit different so even though we have the same 16 gigabytes of GDR 6 memory we now have a 320 bit memory interface compared to 256 bits on a PS 5 and this memory is actually split into two chunks one chunk is 10 gigabytes in size with a bandwidth of 560 Giga bytes per second which is much higher than on the PS 5 however the second chunk is 6 gigabytes in size with a bandwidth of 336 Giga bytes per second which is noticeably less or lower than on the PS 5 now Microsoft said that the reason why they did is was because they wanted developers to have access to you an extremely fast GPU memory while the CPU doesn't really need as fast of a memory and neither does the OS so the OS will be using 2.5 gigabytes Oh 336 gigabytes per second memory which means that in a game the GPU will have access to ten gigabytes of 560 gigabyte per second memory and the CPU will be getting 3.5 gigabytes of 336 gigabytes per second memory oh and here's the fun fact if you do the average of 560 gigabytes per second and 336 you actually get 440 aides which is the same memory bandwidth that a ps5 has so yeah the APU which includes the CPU and the GPU they're both made on both consoles by AMD so it makes sense that the memory is extremely similar yeah it just seems that Microsoft has decided to split that into a different way compared to Sony now something that is indeed quite different is when it comes to storage so both the Xbox Series X and a PS 5 have an SSD now which is like years ahead of the hard drive that we have in the current generation consoles so at a moment's usually the fastest and the 2 flash models that you can buy around 3 to 3.5 gigabytes per second in speed however the PS 5s custom flash module has a speed of 5 point 5 gigabytes per second that's absolutely insane this is essentially 110 times faster yes 110 times faster compared to the ps4 Pro traditional hard drive the Xbox Series X has a 2.4 gigabyte per second module which while still 50 times faster than the one inside the Xbox one it is considerably slower than the PS 5s drive on top of this Sonia said that a PS 5 central storage is so fast that it can actually be technically used as RAM 5.5 gigabytes per second by the way fun fact number two is almost as fast as ddr3 remains which for a 1066 megahertz memory is around eight point five gigabytes per second in speed Microsoft has also addressed this possibility but realistically sony has a much bigger advantage here that is if developers do you make full use of it because if they don't stand up does it really matter however if they do then here's a pretty good example so if you take a look at star citizen which is a PC exclusive game this game actually makes full use of MDOT to flash modules so if you have an MDOT to drive you can even get 30 frames per second higher in that game compared to using the same game running the same game on a same hardware but with a traditional hard drives so yeah this is a very good example where a fast storage can indeed directly impact the frame rate in a game if done properly another area on which a piece of excels when it comes to storage is in terms of the storage expansion the Xbox Series X has a one terabyte internal drive the piece 5 could have anywhere between eight hundred gigabytes to one terabyte but the usable capacity is likely to be around eight hundred twenty five gigabytes like we've seen in Marc's Ernie's presentation over while the Xbox Series X will feature these proprietary one turbine drives that you can just slot in the back and expand the storage this way the PS 5 will actually support any M data module that you can just buy off of Amazon that has at least five point five gigabytes per second in speed so they will be releasing a full list of all supported models but yeah that's that's great because it means that you'll be able to you have such a higher selection of drives compared to the Xbox which only has one and you can even get higher capacity drives if you want however well the PS 5 MW expansion modules will be replacing in Charles storage the X Box module will be adding to that internal storage on top of this Microsoft has even confirmed that external hard drives are still supported for the previous generation games Sony hasn't talked about supporting install hard drives just yet but it is likely that they might be doing something quite similar to the Xbox okay so so far CP wise the Xbox is slightly more powerful GPU is the Xbox is again looking to be quite a bit more powerful but then when it comes to storage the PS 5 is more than double in performance so what about special features you know things that actually make these consoles unique well but the consoles will indeed be supporting previous generation games so both will be backwards compatible but while the PS 5 will only be supporting ps4 games and not even all of them at this point the Xbox Series X will be supporting Xbox one games Xbox 360 games and even some original Xbox games so if you hear about playing your entire library of old games then the Xbox is a much better choice Sony does have PlayStation now which does support some ps3 games but a catalogue just doesn't compare it what Microsoft's offering then both consoles will also support ray-tracing which will make reflections shadows and lighting and games in general looks significantly better than what we have now but an area on which Sony should excel is when it comes to audio so mark Cerny they talk a lot of other brand-new tempest engine and how they will be achieving 3d audio thanks to you a new dedicated hardware engine remember the dedicated PlayStation Platinum headphones that do support 3d audio on the ps4 well what is new hardware on the PS 5 every single pair of headphones will support 3d audio even if you don't have you know some proper high-end headphones and sony is even working on bringing this to TV speakers and sun bars as well and while the controller on the Xbox Series X looks mostly the same as on the Xbox one X with exception of the share button the PS 5 controller is set to be adding a full display as well as haptic feedback which will allow you to feel when you're driving for example on asphalt or grass or even dirts yeah probably this is one of the best features of the PS 5 according to people who actually try this but Microsoft has indeed introduced a dynamic latency input which significantly reduces the input lag from the controller which should make the Xbox the better choice if you're into competitive gaming speaking of this both consoles will be supporting 120 Hertz output so games will be able to run it up to 120 frames per second as well as 8k resolution but this one will be dynamic 4k resolution on the other hand this will be native this time and both consoles will be supporting different methods of compressions for games so games will actually take up less space than India now and on top of this Sony for example they've confirmed that you will be able to uninstall different parts of a game such as the campaign after you finished it and then install the multiplayer right after Mike self hasn't really said anything about this at the moment speaking of games exclusive games will be a very big difference between the two consoles and this is because Microsoft has confirmed that there will be 0 exclusives on the Xbox Series X for the first two years as all the Xbox Series X gains will be required to also work on PC as well as the Xbox one series of console so that's the 1 1 s and 1 X unfortunately this does mean that developers will be severely held back in terms of what it can achieve at least word first two years on the Xbox series X if you don't understand why then definitely make sure to watch this video in which I fully explain this issue now on the piece 5 on the other hand while it will need have some ps4 games such as The Last of Us to go some to shame and so on it will also have some exclusive PS 5 games which will only work on a PS 5 and not the ps4 and because of this we might see true next generation games first on a PS 5 compared to the Xbox now here's the thing we've really only seen two next-generation games we've seen God fall from Sony which on the PS Abed looks it isn't it doesn't look great it looks like a ps4 a pro game just with 60 frames per second and maybe higher resolution graphics full 4k but that's pretty much it Microsoft showed us a gameplay demo of Gears 5 which compared to the Xbox 1x version it looked fairly well basically the same however Microsoft also showed us he'll play - running on the Xbox series acts in the full length of engine and it looked absolutely mind-blowing yeah this was indeed a truly nectarean games and this is set to be coming only to de series X and PC at the moment but we don't really know exactly when that will be so there is a chance that this will be the very first game that was developed with just the series X and mines and not the previous generation Xbox one reason why it can indeed look so good but yeah there we go this is one can expect from games that have been indeed fully developed on the next generation of hardware vs gears high for example which looks the same as the current gen just with better texture detail and longer rendering distances and finally we have the price so neither Sony nor Microsoft have revealed the prices yet however we have seen some leagues that put a ps5 at around $500 or around 450 pounds in the UK making the PS 5 $100 more than the ps4 pro microsoft on the other hand is said to have two models for the xbox a lower-end lockhardt model and then the higher end scarlett model that we've seen so the low-end model is said to be less expensive than a PS 5 while the high-end model is said to be more expensive than a PS 5 I would expect a high-end one to cost around 580 dollars to 600 dollars while the low-end model should be around 300 to 400 dollars now some of you might think that paying this much for a console is just insane but you would actually be surprised so a console will last you between 6 to 7 years like if you take a look at a previous generation the ps4 and the Xbox one came out in 2013 7 years ago now a smartphone usually costs around $1,000 now or even more and this is something that most people replace every two years so in that case in a six year time period you'd have spent $3,000 on a smartphone compared to you $600 on a new console yeah that's a pretty massive difference okay so in the end which one is a better console well the Xbox series X seems to win in terms of CPU and GPU performance the PS 5 is more balanced when it comes to system memory and it is significantly faster when it comes to storage plus it also supports third-party SSD modules the PS 5 also supports trainee audio and a haptic feedback on the controller while the Xbox Series X supports a lower latency other controller and significantly more previous generation games while also offering two models of the console versus just one when it comes to exclusives Sony seems to have the upper hand at least for the first few years so yeah in the end it all comes down to what games do you guys want to play if you want to play more cross-platform games and games that basically work on PC and Xbox and you know pretty much anything then the Xbox Series act is the better choice because you should be getting slightly higher performance compared to the PS 5 we'll see but if you mostly care about first party games and exclusives then the PS 5 is the choice here let me know which one would you pick and why definite consider becoming a member by clicking the join

one turbine drives that you can just slot in the back and expand the storage this way the PS 5 will actually support any M data module that you can just buy off of Amazon that has at least five point five gigabytes per second in speed so they will be releasing a full list of all supported models but yeah that's that's great because it means that you'll be able to you have such a higher selection of drives compared to the Xbox which only has one and you can even get higher capacity drives if you want however well the PS 5 MW expansion modules will be replacing in Charles storage the X Box

better choice Sony does have PlayStation now which does support some ps3 games but a catalogue just doesn't compare it what Microsoft's offering then both consoles will also support ray-tracing which will make reflections shadows and lighting and games in general looks significantly better than what we have now but an area on which Sony should excel is when it comes to audio so mark Cerny they talk a lot of other brand-new tempest engine and how they will be achieving 3d audio thanks to you a new dedicated hardware engine remember the dedicated PlayStation Platinum headphones that do support 3d audio on the ps4 well what is new hardware on the PS 5 every single pair of headphones will support 3d audio even if you don't have you know some proper high-end headphones and sony is even working on bringing this to TV speakers and sun bars as well and while the controller on the Xbox Series X looks mostly the same as on the Xbox one X with exception of the share button the PS 5 controller is set to be adding a full display as well as haptic feedback which will allow you to feel when you're driving for example on asphalt or grass or even dirts yeah probably this is one of the best features of the PS 5 according to people who actually try this but Microsoft has indeed introduced a dynamic latency input which significantly reduces the input lag from the controller which should make the Xbox the better choice if you're into competitive gaming speaking of this both consoles will be supporting 120 Hertz output so games will be able to run it up to 120 frames per second as well as 8k resolution but this one will be dynamic 4k resolution on the other hand this will be native this time and both consoles will be supporting different methods of compressions for games so games will actually take up less space than India now and on top of this Sony for example they've confirmed that you will be able to uninstall different parts of a game such as the campaign after you finished it and then install the multiplayer right after Mike self hasn't really said anything about this at the moment speaking of games exclusive games will be a very big difference between the two consoles and this is because Microsoft has confirmed that there will be 0 exclusives on the Xbox Series X for the first two years as all the Xbox Series X gains will be required to also work on PC as well as the Xbox one series of console so that's the 1 1 s and 1 X unfortunately this does mean that developers will be severely held back in terms of what it can achieve at least word first two years on the Xbox series X if you don't understand why then definitely make sure to watch this video in which I fully explain this issue now on the piece 5 on the other hand while it will need have some ps4 games such as The Last of Us to go some to shame and so on it will also have some exclusive PS 5 games which will only work on a PS 5 and not the ps4 and because of this we might see true next generation games first on a PS 5 compared to the Xbox now here's the thing we've really only seen two next-generation games we've seen God fall from Sony which on the PS Abed looks it isn't it doesn't look great it looks like a ps4 a pro game just with 60 frames per second and maybe higher resolution graphics full 4k but that's pretty much it Microsoft showed us a gameplay demo of Gears 5 which compared to the Xbox 1x version it looked fairly well basically the same however Microsoft also showed us he'll play - running on the Xbox series acts in the full length of engine and it looked absolutely mind-blowing yeah this was indeed a truly nectarean games and this is set to be coming only to de series X and PC at the moment but we don't really know exactly when that will be so there is a chance that this will be the very first game that was developed with just the series X and mines and not the previous generation Xbox one reason why it can indeed look so good but yeah there we go this is one can expect from games that have been indeed fully developed on the next generation of hardware vs gears high for example which looks the same as the current gen just with better texture detail and longer rendering distances and finally we have the price so neither Sony nor Microsoft have revealed the prices yet however we have seen some leagues that put a ps5 at around $500 or around 450 pounds in the UK making the PS 5 $100 more than the ps4 pro microsoft on the other hand is said to have two models for the xbox a lower-end lockhardt model and then the higher end scarlett model that we've seen so the low-end model is said to be less expensive than a PS 5 while the high-end model is said to be more expensive than a PS 5 I would expect a high-end one to cost around 580 dollars to 600 dollars while the low-end model should be around 300 to 400 dollars now some of you might think that paying this much for a console is just insane but you would actually be surprised so a console will last you between 6 to 7 years like if you take a look at a previous generation the ps4 and the Xbox one came out in 2013 7 years ago now a smartphone usually costs around $1,000 now or even more and this is something that most people replace every two years so in that case in a six year time period you'd have spent $3,000 on a smartphone compared to you $600 on a new console yeah that's a pretty massive difference okay so in the end which one is a better console well the Xbox series X seems to win in terms of CPU and GPU performance the PS 5 is more balanced when it comes to system memory and it is significantly faster when it comes to storage plus it also supports third-party SSD modules the PS 5 also supports trainee audio and a haptic feedback on the controller while the Xbox Series X supports a lower latency other controller and significantly more previous generation games while also offering two models of the console versus just one when it comes to exclusives Sony seems to have the upper hand at least for the first few years so yeah in the end it all comes down to what games do you guys want to play if you want to play more cross-platform games and games that basically work on PC and Xbox and you know pretty much anything then the Xbox Series act is the better choice because you should be getting slightly higher performance compared to the PS 5 we'll see but if you mostly care about first party games and exclusives then the PS 5 is the choice here let me know which one would you pick and why definite consider becoming a member by clicking the join
