Never broke one.
Build quality was better with the DS3 though.
in the latest “series x enhanced “ video there show “standard 30 fps....up to 120fps” but it was animated, in your face and glowing I’m too lazy to post it here but I did elsewhere
*edit to add below
I was wrong, it wasn’t glowing, and it’s really “optimized” not enhanced...
Microsoft: We Could Have Used Variable Clocks for Xbox Series X, But We're Not Interested in TFLOPS Numbers
Microsoft's Jason Ronald said that the Xbox Series X could have used variable clocks like the PS5, but the company isn't looking to boast higher TFLOPS.www.wccftech.com
I would really love to believe that, but isn't that what a lot of his advertising has been surrounding when he refers to it being the most powerful system in the world? He tweeted of this, in fact. C'mon Phil! Don't get me wrong, the Series X is a very capable system. No one's denying that, but we can clearly see that by teraflops being echoed throughout the reports, that it somehow makes it a lopsided comparison. The XSX will show it's edge in key areas and so will the PS5, and i think Phil knows this now.
Everything a video game DOES is affected predominantly by the GPU, CPU and RAM. And XSX is better on all three counts with guaranteed clock speeds, plus it will be better with ray tracing since it has more hardware for that. Sony went overkill on the loading times with their SSD and still nobody who is impressed with the 5GB/sec loads has ever explained how that will change gameplay or design fundamentally other than loading times, unless of course they're going to have 5TB install sizes to have enough assets to stream in unique data constantly. All because they boxed themselves in on making it backwards compatible the only way they know how: in hardware.

It is. Not only is the bus faster, but the RAM itself is faster on the XSX most of the time.XSX isn't better with ram.
Zen doesn't do even 100GB/sec from RAM. GPU is about pushing bandwidth, while CPU is about latency.
Give it time...
More single>Less splitIt is. Not only is the bus faster, but the RAM itself is faster on the XSX most of the time.
Should be. We have no way to know how it will all play out. Best to wait and see. We just dont know enough.Is this his answer to everything?

You are basing a lot of you assumptions on fragments of information, and you've made a conclusion on that.

If you actually had access to, at least one of these systems, i could understand. But you don't. You don't even have an inside source to talk to about at least one of these systems. Yet, you've emptied these two platforms inside out right down to decimal, and you've somehow prepared an entire conclusion. What is so hard about letting it play out before you start jumping the gun? If there is anyone that appears "displeased," it is you.You're responding to a completely different conversation I'm having with someone else, but since you're wrong anyway I suppose I'll play along.
CuttingEdgeVal was taking his usual 'read something somewhere where someone said the xsx ram is worse because split' argument and I was as succinctly as possible mentioning that RAM bandwidth for CPU is not a thing that is a bottleneck in these processors, because the CPU's RAM is not there to be repeatedly filled and flushed like a dollar store burrito.
If you were somehow trying to read into that anything else, as if I were saying for example, that it's not possible to read 2.5 GB/sec of unique data from an SSD constantly (which, incidentally, is the XSX speed) and have more than 40 seconds of gameplay without 100 GB installation size, I apologize. Though I said it now, if that makes you happier. But if that assertion displeases you, my only suggestion is that you take it up with arithmetic. Or, you know, just give it time; maybe carrying the one will fall out of fashion and you can do that example with a 0 GB install because of thepower of the Cellthe ultra shiny SSD.
Not impossible to overcome but a disadvantage for sure(cost cutting most sensible reason)Exactly why you snap your Zen 2 CPU into a hole in the GPU so it can share that GDDR6, because despite CPU and GPU having had separate RAM pools for decades, apparently having one pool with two different access rates is suddenly an impossibility to overcome.
VaLLiancE Not sure what's funny about that, actually, thought you'd cry.Digital foundry has been pretty clear on what specs are better on paper.

While i tend to agree, I still wouldn't appeal to "authority" this way. We still have not seen how these machines manifest their respective benefits. There are two different approaches. Approaches that each company feels was the best focus for their new machines. I'm actually very interested to see how it hashes out. We will have a better understanding after MS shows their First party games, imo. Though I'd still remind people that it's the beginning of a generation with new ways of tapping into respective advantages.Digital foundry has been pretty clear on what specs are better on paper.
Well, they have been right pretty much everytime they've made predictions. They basically nailed what the one x would be able to do when other media and forums made fun of ms claims of a 4k console.While i tend to agree, I still wouldn't appeal to "authority" this way.
