Both PS5 and Xbox Series X use customized AMD Ryzen Zen 2 processors and RDNA 2 graphics card architecture, but the specific configurations are slightly different. The Xbox Series X is equipped with a 12 Teraflops GPU, providing higher graphics processing capabilities, while the PS5's GPU is 10.28 Teraflops. Although the PS5 is slightly inferior in theoretical performance, its customized architecture and higher frequency design make up for part of the gap.

In terms of memory, both are equipped with 16GB GDDR6 memory with slightly different bandwidths. Xbox Series X has an advantage in this regard, with higher bandwidth, which helps to achieve smoother picture performance at high resolutions. In terms of storage space, the Xbox Series X has a 1TB NVMe SSD, while the PS5 has an 825GB custom SSD. Although the PS5 has slightly smaller storage space, its high-speed custom SSD provides faster read and write speeds, which significantly shortens the game loading time.

The game lineup is an important factor for players to choose a console. When the PS5 was launched, there were a series of exclusive masterpieces, such as "Demon's Souls" and "Spider-Man: Miles Morales", which fully demonstrated the powerful performance and picture expression of the PS5. Sony's long-term accumulation of exclusive game resources has given the PS5 a clear advantage in exclusive games.

The Xbox Series X is known for its strong backward compatibility and supports a large number of games from Xbox One, Xbox 360 and the first generation Xbox. This means that players can play classic games from past generations of consoles on the new console. In addition, Microsoft has also launched the Xbox Game Pass service, which provides subscription services for more than 100 games, allowing players to experience a large number of excellent works at a lower cost.

In terms of user experience, PS5 and Xbox Series X have their own characteristics. The DualSense controller of PS5 is a highlight. Its tactile feedback and adaptive triggers bring unprecedented immersion. It can provide different vibration and pressure feelings according to the game scene, so that players can have a more realistic experience in the game.

Xbox Series X is more mature in overall system optimization and functionality. Its Quick Resume function allows players to quickly switch between different games, greatly improving the smoothness of the gaming experience. In addition, the cooling system of Xbox Series X is more reasonably designed, and it can still remain quiet and stable when running under high load, which improves the overall user experience.

In terms of price, the two consoles are sold at roughly the same price, but their added value and cost performance are different. The digital version of PS5 is relatively cheap, suitable for players who prefer digital games, while the standard version is slightly more expensive, but it is equipped with an optical drive, which can support Blu-ray discs and the second-hand game market, and has higher flexibility.

Although the price of Xbox Series X is comparable to that of the standard version of PS5, the large amount of game content provided by Xbox Game Pass and backward compatibility make it extremely cost-effective overall. Especially for players who already have an Xbox game library, Series X is undoubtedly a more attractive choice.
