PS5 full specifications have been revealed today and we've added Xbox Series X’s full specifications comparison too.

Today, Mark Cerny detailed:
  • CPU: 8 Zen 2 Cores @ 3.5GHz (variable frequency)
  • GPU: 10.28 teraflops, 36 CUs @ 2.23GHz (variable frequency)
  • Memory: 16GB GDDR6, 256-bit
  • Memory Bandwidth: 448GB per second
  • Internal Storage: Custom 825GB SSD
  • IO Throughput: Raw: 5.5GB per-second; compressed: Typical 8-9GB per-second
  • Expandable Storage: NVMe SSD Slot
  • External Storage: USB HDD Support
  • Optical Drive 4K: UHD Blu-ray Drive
PS5 is offering less teraflops and a smaller SSD, but the option to change the SSD for a bigger one. The RAM is on par with the Xbox Series X. In comparison, we’d expect the PS5 to cost less than the Xbox Series X, but also to be less powerful.

What do you make of PS5's specs? How about in comparison with the Xbox Series X? We still have more on the PS5, stay tuned!
 
Those are some impressive specs! Now all we need is a release date and price. I'm considering just getting a ps4 and skipping the 5.
 
I think in the long run, it looks like PS5 will be a cheaper and easier system to have around, whereas the Xbox is all horsepower and hopefully maybe games on it?
