#ps5 specs

If there’s anything we can look forward to this year, it’s the release of the PS5 and XBOX Series X. They’ve opted for a similar CPU to the PS5 but one that clocks in a little bit higher at 3.8GHz. After all, it’s now about how many teraFLOPs there are, but how they’re used.  To make matters more complicated, while the PS5 has fewer teraFLOPs (32 CUs), they will be running at 2.23GHz, which is higher than the Series X (52 CUs running at 1.825GHz). Although, it’s only with actual gameplay that we’ll find out which tactic works better since they’re using very different philosophies.  On the topic of SSDs, the PS5’s storage capacity (825 GB) pales compared to the Series X’s 1 TB. However, if we dig a little deeper, PS5 might be going down a different route: quality over quantity. While only allowing for 825 GB of storage, the PS5’s SSDs actually manage 5.5 GB per second, which is double the speed of the Series X’s 2.5 GB per second. This means the PS5 will be significantly faster in terms of loading games.
