Alexandre Sabourin, Team Lead at Snowed In StudiosSSD speeds improve load times without any code changes. DirectStorage APIs and hardware decompression on the Xbox Series X are also key factors in further improving loading speeds. Sampler Feedback tech, which is part of the Xbox Velocity Architecture, loads textures more efficiently based on what the scene needs, further reducing the load on memory.

Xbox Series X’s BCPack Texture Compression Technique 'might be' better than the PS5’s Kraken
Microsoft might have an ace up its sleeve to trump the PS5′ Kraken tech.

Xbox Velocity Architecture - 100 GB is instantly accessible by the developer through a custom hardware decompression block
Perhaps you could show how you arrive at this conclusion.... Because clocks mean nothing naturally, the more CUs the better, even if they were clocked at 800mhz.
Wojciech Piejko, Lead Game Designer at Bloober TeamXbox Series X caught Sony off-guard. Microsoft has been working a little bit closer with AMD on some of the technologies that they have been working on. Xbox Series X can do better real time Ray Tracing because of the higher 52 CU count compared to Playstation 5's 36. Microsoft has got some pluses like Xbox Series X's 320 bus compared to Playstation 5's 256 bus. As a developer he would rather work on fixed performance deltas.

Difference between Xbox Series X SSD and PS5 SSD is effectively not going to be as big as seen on paper
They are doing 4K 60 fps which is blazingly fast. Faster load speeds – it just comes out, magically, you just click, and there you go, it loads way faster. They have more detail than you can actually see at lower resolutions. Draw distances will be as long as they can make them. When the camera changes position following a vicious gunfight, you should be able to count the bullet-holes in the walls. Everything is ludicrously detailed, so when you bring down the camera, it just works.
Microsoft is very open and approachable, they know what it takes to be able to make a game for their machines, so they’re prepared – the tools are there. Series X represents a leap in video game development, it’s becoming easier and easier to develop. So it’s easier and easier to actually use all that power, and to spend more time on the creative bits, because ideally, you just want everything to work, to realise your creations. An 11-person indie studio could not have done what they are doing 20 years ago.

Its not just the the XSX CPU at is 10-15% faster than PS5 CPU clock at max clock. A game's performance is a product of many factors like CPU, GPU, RAM speed etc. They are somehow able to hit 60 fps on Xbox Series X
Scorn developer will only include ray-tracing if it doesn't sacrifice performance
The Xbox Series X exclusive Scorn may be a visual powerhouse for next-gen gaming, but the hardware-intensive ray-tracing lighting will only be included if it doesn’t sacrifice the game’s 60fps performance target. Scorn game director Ljubomir Peklar told us that, while the developer is currently...mspoweruser.comIt probably wont be able to hit 60 fps on PS5.

Plus he’s right, I’ll take a faster CPU for better performance over one SSD’s slightly faster loading times over another SSD.
They all end up the same a few pages in..
Its backwards compatible.
Fair point, though taking it as a whole package I would still argue that the faster cpu, gpu, higher ram count and larger ssd is still the better alternative to just a faster ssd.
I feel like theres a reference there I dont understand.
It really depends what cpu and gpu you have. If you have a top end gpu and say a 8 core cpu, 300Mhz would be a sizeable difference.
Thats when the PS5 cpu is going full speed, which it wont be when its having to switch power between the gpu and cpu constantly. Plus i was talking about on PC.
I don't think current gen CPUs were holding back A.I
There is also the issue of potentially the PS5 reducing the CPU further to keep the GPU at full frequency.
It's got to do a lot of throttling because that darn SSD is just too fast.
I doubt we ever will know. It is obvious Sony is trying to sweep it under the rug by mentioning it once with some marketing speak and never again but happy to discuss tempest and SSD. Looks like the media let them off the hook unlike 2013 were they rightfully grilled Microsoft and the bullshit DRM. Every interview should lead with asking for hard numbers on the variable clocks to hold Sony to.
Trying so hard on what ? I literally quoted his interview. Way better than your SSD essays. Or do you have issues with things being posted that dont fit your agenda ?
Dis mufucka spittin!
That slow motion "fuuucckkkkk" is still amazing.
