At present, PS5 and Xbox Series X have published the first batch of hardware parameter information. Obviously, these two next-generation hosts have made significant progress in performance, but they can still be divided into pure and powerful computing. The Xbox of the Series X GPU can reach 12TFLOPS, while PS5 can only reach 10.3TFLOPS, slightly inferior.

According to current news, PS5's GPU performance is between 5700 and 5700XT. Especially if the selling price is located at US $ 399, although the initial loss will be incurred (may be around US $ 150 each), but with the popularity of PS + members, this money can be recovered quickly. But at the same time, PS5 has great advantages compared with 5700XT: 1. Large-capacity video memory 2. Ray tracing. As for how Sony implemented ray tracing, I am afraid it will be difficult to reveal before it is released.

Next, let us talk about Xbox Series X:
CPU
equivalent to ryzen3700
GPU gaming performance is equivalent to RTX2080s

This is very interesting, most PCs of players do not have this function. Excluding price issues, this time Microsoft is really winning on hardware.

As a perennial leader in the game console industry, Sony has been playing steadily for many years, and its position in the traditional console market is almost unshakable. If any other company enters the game console market, my console has a market. This is a fixed market brought by Sony's accumulated sticky users. Due to the success of long-term operation, players who bought PS1 tend to buy PS2; players who bought PS2 tend to buy PS3; players who bought PS3 tend to buy PS4. And the players who bought all the way, will inevitably have a large part to buy PS5. This is the inertia of the market.

Microsoft, which has been competing with Sony for many years, has two development directions:

1. Differentiated confrontation with Sony
2. Confront with Sony

In the confrontation with PS1 to PS4, Microsoft may have realized:

1. The Japanese market and some European and American markets are almost completely controlled by Sony, and China ’s booming economic strength and market volume are well worth exploring​
2. There is absolutely no future in confrontation, and even the market that should have been lost will be lost because of it.​

From the era of the Xbox One against PS4, Microsoft launched the Xbox One S and Xbox One X to compete in the low-end and high-end markets, respectively. It can be seen that the Xbox Series will inevitably have a castration model to develop the low-end market. High-end models are responsible for attracting ashes players, through a large influx of ashes players to promote the influence of the brand, and then low-end models launched at low prices to attract a large number of ordinary players. At the same time, most Xbox games can now be shared with PCs (after all, it is Microsoft's stuff). For the Chinese market, PC coverage is far greater than other game consoles. If the smooth transition between Xbox and PC can be completed, this It is a great advantage for those who develop the Chinese market. This is a new way for Microsoft.
