#Sony vs Microsoft

Interestingly enough, both Sony and Microsoft have opted to work with AMD to produce these parts.  Equally important is the console’s storage. But how fast they are is the real question.  For CPU, Sony announced that they would be using a custom third-generation Ryzen Chip (an eight-core 3.5 GHz Zen 2 with AMD’s proprietary 7nm Zen Microarchitecture). And if that isn’t enough, it also allows for additional inserts of extra NVMe SSDs or standard HDDs.  On the other hand, Microsoft is not one to fall behind and has partnered with AMD to co-engineer a custom system-on-chip platform. Firstly, in terms of CPU, the gap is too small to push one over the other, and while Microsoft edged it out to a 3.8GHz speed, in reality, it will only manage about 3.6GHz with simultaneous multithreading.
