It was already done in its time with the comparison between the Xbox Series S and the Xbox One X, because many users really thought about how the Xbox Series S with its 4 teraflops could be more powerful than the Xbox One X with its 6 teraflops. The flaws and advantages of each became apparent, with a very slight advantage for the next-gen console. Now the comparison is similar, except for one important fact, it’s been over two years since the launch of the little S. How would it compare to the PS4 Pro?
From Digital Foundry they make an analysis accompanied by several comparisons, of games that, for the most part, have changed since their launch or are directly adapted to the new generation. Therefore, the comparison becomes more interesting when we simply look at the Teraflops: Will the 4.2 Teraflops of the PS4 Pro or the 4 Teraflops of the Xbox Series S be better?

Caveats aside, there’s a clear advantage for the Xbox Series S
In the video they take several games such as Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Grand Theft Auto V or The Witcher 3 and the truth is that when it comes to talking about resolution things are equal, but all are decidedly optimized for Xbox Series S , which takes advantage of a series of advantages such as its powerful processor or the abysmal speed difference of its SSD. Regarding the latter, the little Microsoft manages to load games in just 12 seconds, when the PS4 Pro exceeds 50 seconds.
But the biggest difference between the two is the ability to move those games to 60fps from the Xbox Series S, something the PS4 Pro’s older processor isn’t capable of solving
If we have to give a winner, it’s obviously the Xbox Series S, but it’s a comparison that not only shows that teraflops can’t be directly compared across generations as a power sample, but also teaches us that consoles from the previous generation They have definitely fallen behind a console whose access price is only $ 299 and which already does better than all the premium versions of the previous generation.
