A new generation of consoles is coming soon
There is a difference in performance between PS5 and Xbox Series X, but will it matter? Hellpoint developer Marc-André Jutras commented on the hardware and gave answers that may affect your purchase decision.
At the beginning of the new generation of consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X face each other. The hardware of both devices is known, and the new Xbox is more powerful on paper.
Some developers even talked about the huge difference in performance between PS5 and Xbox Series X. However, according to Gamingbolt, the gaming magazine, Marc-André Jutras, a developer at Hellpoint from Cradle Games, is opposite to this statement.
There is no difference in the long run
According to Jutras, although the graphics performance provided by Xbox is 12 teraflops, and PS5 is only 10.28 teraflops, in the long run, this may not have any real impact, because hardware optimization can make up the difference.
"Old game consoles have always had this difference, especially the PlayStation, which has been optimized and provides hardware-specific acceleration." Http://feedproxy.google.com/ "
Marc-André Jutras, Technical Director of Cradle Games
Jutras continues to talk about the constant comparison of Teraflops heights to classify graphics performance. As Mark Cerny, a system architect at Sony, already emphasized when releasing PS5 hardware, this should not be considered separately.
"Now GPUs in particular; how to use triggers? For any dedicated physical core? Audio processing? Or neural networks? And let ’s not start with ray tracing! If the number of triggers is doubled, it does n’t matter if only half of right?
Marc-André Jutras, Technical Director of Cradle Games
Jutras clearly shows that it is not necessary to use all the computing power represented by Teraflops, because certain hardware components and functions may occupy a considerable part. Therefore, it is difficult to compare pure Teraflops values without considering the entire system.
According to Jutras, in the end, the hardware is not critical. He also did not say what it would be.
Other reasons why buying is more important
When buying game consoles, many players will pay attention to the provision of exclusive games. You can count on exclusive games on PS5, but Xbox Series X is not supported at the moment, because you can also play many games on the PC at the beginning, such as Halo Infinite.
Xbox has an advantage in the backward compatibility provided by both consoles. It is compatible with all previous Xbox versions.
On the other hand, PS5 will only be backward compatible with PS4 games. Even so, not all games can be run when the console is started.

Of course, new gamepads are also important, because you will be holding them for hundreds of hours, and it is obvious: they should feel good. Microsoft claims to have made the "best Xbox controller" better. On the other hand, Sony mainly relies on the haptic feedback and adaptive trigger of the "DualSense" PS5 controller.
We hope that Microsoft and Sony will have more enlightenment in the next few weeks. For example, the design of PS5 has not been revealed. Now is the time, because the new game console will be retailed by the end of 2020.
