SHADWEN TROPHIES SERIES

That could wind up meaning the Xbox Series X has slower loading times than the PS5 in practice, but it depends on a variety of factors.įortnite, for example, loads four seconds faster on the PS5: The Xbox Series X will also have a custom SSD, one with 1TB of NVMe storage (of which 802GB is usable) but a lesser throughput of 2.4GB/s. Back in March, PS5 lead system architect Mark Cerny said the SSD certifications will likely happen “a bit past” the console’s launch. We’re not exactly sure when that those SSDs might become available. If you want to expand the PS5’s storage, you won’t be able to at launch, but at some point in the future, you’ll be able to slot in a Sony-certified M.2 SSD. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War takes up 133GB, for example, which is nearly 20 percent of the console’s available storage. And the ever-growing size of games means that you might fill up that usable space quickly. You should know, though, that some of that 825GB of storage space is used up by system data, though, meaning that you actually have 667.2GB of usage space. Though it sounds like the difference is minimal based on this technical presentation (skip to 35:30):

The console also uses variable frequencies on both the PS5’s CPU and GPU, which could theoretically push the graphics to run slightly faster than normal when the CPU isn’t running at peak. The PS5 is powered by a custom eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU and a custom AMD Radeon RDNA 2-based GPU that will provide 10.28 teraflops of raw graphical power. Unlike Microsoft, the only thing that differentiates those two versions is which console has a disc drive and how much each one costs. But for $100 less, at $399.99, you can buy the Digital Edition PS5 (which also looks noticeably thinner than its more expensive sibling). For $499.99, you can buy a PS5 with a 4K Blu-ray drive. Like Microsoft, Sony is actually selling two versions of its upcoming next-generation console. Image: Sony There are actually two PS5 consoles, but they’re largely the same
