The PS5 and the Xbox One X will both be running 5700 series Navi AMD GPU chips and Ryzen 7 3700 series 8 core Zen 2 processors. The claim that Scarlett will be 4x more powerful as the Xbox One X, comes from the fact that the Ryzen 7 3700X, is 4x more powerful than the 8 Core Jaguar CPU that is found in the current Xbox One X. PS5 and Scarlett will produce anywhere from 7 - 9 Tflops of raw computing power, slightly lower than the RX 5700 and RX 5700XT, in order for the console to be able to keep thermals under control.

Both new consoles will also use SSDs, as everyone already knows. The RX 5700XT can run many current games at just under 4K/60 at max settings, but with console optimization, 4k/60 should be easy to achieve, but will also require lower settings, especially with next generation games that will have larger worlds, better physics and much more realistic detail.

It will be very interesting to see what the launch titles will be. Usually the ones after the first year are even better as developers become better at coding and designing for a new system.

That will not be the original PS5 when released that is just a dev kit. Smh.

Garethvk1679d ago

I know but its the best picture available.

Elda1679d ago

But it's just a pic of a dev kit not the actual PS5 console.

Garethvk1679d ago (Edited 1679d ago )

Show me a pic of the console and I would have used it. As I said; it is the best pic available of the PS5 Dev kit or not. I was not going to just use a basic Playstation logo or a picture of the PS4.

It would be awesome if the PS5 actually ended up like that concept picture. It'd piss so many people off!!!

Garethvk1679d ago

Trying to remember what people thought the PS4 would look like.

Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)

You could add the naming scheme for the consoles, it just confuses customers. I know they wanted to avoid traditional numbering bc it would always be lower than their competitor, but this whole 360 then One then Series thing is confusing af. Imagine a Soccer Mom trying to figure this stuff out. I still mistakenly call the Series X the One from time to time on accident.

Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
