From Microsoft, Xbox Series X will arrive in stores on November 10 at a price of 499 euros; this time global launch. Its catalog of exit games is summarized here.


Now that we know the official PS5 design and its first confirmed exclusive games, it should be remembered that Mark Cerny presented in society the technical specifications of PlayStation 5, Sony’s new console for this Christmas, a few months ago The architect of the company, the eminence in charge of designing the PlayStation hardware, reported the final technical characteristics that the platform will have and that explain the finishing one of his games, such as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart or Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

One of the differential characteristics of Xbox Series X is that it will have backward compatibility with thousands of launch games thanks to the team that is working on making the entire Xbox One catalog can be enjoyed out on the new machine, to which we must add up the other hundreds of Xbox 360 and Xbox titles. Additionally, backward compatible Xbox Series X games will also have reduced load times compared to their original wait times.

The fight for power: new generation

If we start with the CPU, we see that Xbox Series X It has 8 cores of 3.8 GHz by the eight of 3.5 GHz variables of PS5. In GPU, we were amazed at the announced 12 teraflops of power for the Microsoft console in a custom architecture RDNA 2; PS5 confirms the same type of architecture – it had been speculated that it might be RDNA 1- but in teraflops stays at 10.28. It will be necessary to see its performance, since Cerny has insisted that his idea is to offer a smaller and more agile GPU to offer a performance above what is expected from his number of TFLOPs, which according to him, does not respond to all the possibilities offered by the GPU component.

In bandwidth, Microsoft’s console also leads the way: 10GB @ 560GB / s for the PS5’s 448GB / s. At the internal storage level, both consoles have an SSD hard drive, in Xbox Series X 1 TB and in PS5 825 gigabytes. The speed of the SSD is at 2.4 GB / s on the Microsoft console and 5.5 GB / s on the Sony console. Note that in Xbox Series X it was specified that it could be expanded 1 TB more. Both have 16 GB GDDR6 of RAM.
