**"The real question now is the rumor of it only being 4tf true or is it as powerful as the x"**
That's not a question at all. It's not as powerful as Series X.
Series S has a lower performance RDNA 2 GPU that supports the Direct X12 Ultimate feature-set. Power wise the GPU is roughly on par with the Xbox One X GPU (Series S RDNA 2 GPU is a more efficient GPU that supports updated Direct X 12U features).
This is a really fantastic Ad.
Putting aside the usual narrative of who has the biggest teraflop and focussing on what makes PS5 unique is definitely the way to go. This short film does an amazing job of conveying PS5's directional audio as well as the haptic feedback and resistive triggers on the new Dualsense controller.
Reading the accompanying blog it seems that the Ad was put together during lockdown with each individual involved being filmed / w...
Well written article that makes some great points, The quality of the video edit is excellent, KAIN Poduction does good work.
Hyped for next gen.

Digital Foundry made the comparison in the video linked, not me - I just explained what DF published.

@cornelis
**"Why are you comparing RT implementation on a game like Minecraft which is incredibly simplistic in its geometry to something like GT7 or Ratchet and Clank?"**
Because of this statement in the OP's comment :
"And given that so many people seemed to think Sony wouldn't even have RT which they have shown running on hardware something which Microsoft has yet to do"

Lol, OK.
The title of the video is **"Minecraft DXR on Xbox Series X: Next-Gen Ray Tracing Analysis!"**, You can literally see the "Captured on Series X" rendered in the video (not an overlay) and watch Austin Evans playing the game on the Series X devkit.

It's a video but hey, whatever. Don't like Digital Foundry - cool, here's another video from Austin Evans

**"Variable Rate Shading is nice for saving cycles, but VRS’ optimization capability doesn’t hold a handle to the Geometry Engine’s capabilities. VRS without GE means you’re still processing vertices you can/should eliminate in earlier stages to begin with. More free compute/memory"**
Comparing PS5's geometry engine to Direct X Variable Rate Shading (VRS) is an apples to oranges comparison, and a strange juxtaposition from Matt Harg...

Yet despite knowing this, you still refuse to give credence to Gabe's comment.

**"It's just there to add inflection"**
I think you need to go back to school and learn the correct use and meaning of the word "inflection" Mr. rainslacker.
Here is the definition of the word inflection to help you out.
"a change in the form of a word (typically the ending) to express a grammatical function or attribute such as tense, mood, person, number, case, and gender&qu...

**"Xbox Series X has two exes in the name. that's how you know it's extra special, and two exes are doubly extreme"**
When you realise that Xbox Series X actually has three X's in the name and all of a sudden the sarcastic comment you intended to be a witty slight at the Xbox brand has actually made you look rather stupid.
@Gaz
Solid article and a great video. Love the GoD graphics throughout the stream and the production values look spot on.
Good work.
