One of the big questions about Playstation 5 Y Xbox Series X, apart from its unknown final price, are its characteristics. The hardware of both platforms promises to bring a huge quantitative leap that translates into a great qualitative leap in video games of the new generation. But, To what extent will they be above the current consoles? An anonymous developer has brought news about it, predicting really monstrous benefits for both platforms.
Before continuing, it should be mentioned that the publication has been made through 4chan, collected by Tweaktown, so it should be taken as a rumor, although it would not be the first time this website serves to advance details about consoles or video games. More specifically, the user claims to be a tester of a third party studio, and has wanted to share details of both PS5 and the new Xbox. As indicated, the first would reach a gross power of 12.6 TFLOPS; while the second would remain approximately in the 12 TFLOPS.
Among the details it throws, highlights the graphic memory of both consoles. According to this filter, the Sony console would have a total of 18 GB of GDDR6 memory for the graphic calculation, while Microsoft's would go down a bit up to 16 GB of GDDR6. Something that both consoles would have in common in terms of memory, in addition to the confirmed use of SSD hard drives, is to allocate 4 GB of DDR4 RAM for the operating system.
Also, the graphic unit (GPU) of PlayStation 5 would be, according to its indications a intermediate point between the current generation of Radeon and the next one, RDNA 1.5. For its part, Xbox Series X would bet on a Zen-2 based CPU that would operate at a frequency of 3.7 GHz per core, something above the 3.6 GHz of PS5 in this aspect. Very even in many aspects, both platforms would go with everything in terms of hardware to get the most ambitious games. Although they still have many surprises to reveal.
