![]() Despite 8K being mentioned at various times by both companies in the run up to launch, it's simply not an option in the menus of either machine. But the way Sony has designed and integrated the PS5’s storage makes it so fast (more than twice as fast as that of the Series X, in fact) that it essentially boosts overall console performance.īut neither console uses that power to deliver 8K. Both consoles also use AMD graphics processors, with the Xbox’s providing 12 teraflops of power to the PS5’s 10.28 teraflops.īoth consoles use SSDs (solid-state drives) rather than mechanical hard disk drives, with Microsoft offering a terabyte of storage to the PS5’s 825GB. Both have 8-core CPUs from AMD, but the Xbox’s are clocked at 3.8GHz while the PS5’s are 3.5GHz. In the battle of the spec sheets, the PS5 appears to lose out against the Xbox Series X. ![]() With that cleared up, let's dive into it: Initial fears about the newer model running hotter have thankfully been laid to rest, as both consoles offer the same performance and gaming experience. The changes refer to some internal tweaks to the heatsink and a few other minor changes. PS5 vs PS5 Digital Edition : which should you buy?īefore we dive into the specs, it's worth pointing out that there are now two PS5 models making the rounds - the original CFI-1000 launch version, and a revised CFI-1100 unit.ĭon't panic, there's not a new PS5 console out there already.Ultimately, while the Xbox is the duller-looking of the two consoles, it's also the more practical, so it just about scrapes the win here. It isn’t an issue with games, at least, as even those bought on disc run primarily from the consoles’ built-in storage. That’s enough to make a difference and, while neither will intrude on your movie soundtrack, you are more likely to notice the Xbox in the quieter moments. Here, though, we peg the PS5 at about 5dB quieter than the Xbox. With both consoles, the disc drive is noisier than the fan, particularly when playing a 4K Blu-ray. Unlike the Xbox Series X, it’s not completely inaudible in a silent room, but the consistent whirr is quiet enough to be drowned out by any sound coming from your TV or sound system. Like the Xbox Series X, the PS5 uses a single fan that is unusually large (by console standards) to keep itself cool, which it does very quietly indeed. It can be laid horizontally if preferred, but the PS5's size can still cause issues for those with limited space in their equipment racks, particularly as you have to allow space around it for air to flow. ![]() While it's a touch slimmer than the Xbox Series X (14cm vs 15cm), it's significantly taller (39cm vs 30cm). Some say that the PS5's white shell has the look of a high-collared catsuit, with an opening that plunges down to create a 'V' that could denote that this is the fifth-generation PlayStation.Īs for dimensions, the PS5 is absolutely huge. Its curvaceous lines and glossy white finish contrast with the Xbox's sharp, geometric silhouette and stealthy matte black paint. Unlike previous generations of Xbox, there's no HDMI input or optical output.Ĭompared with the quite utilitarian appearance of the Xbox Series X, the PS5 looks very sci-fi. It measures 30 x 15 x 15cm (hwd), weighs 4.45kg and works with a 130mm fan that draws cool air up through vents in the bottom and sends hot air out through outlets at the top. The design of the Xbox Series X looks not too dissimilar to a matte black tower PC – a clear departure from the Xbox One – that can be stood vertically or laid horizontally. The two consoles look strikingly different. We've seen online retailers begin to discount prices. The Xbox Series X is easier to find, while the Xbox Series S is relatively plentiful these days. It's now possible to find a PS5 restock, but you'll have to be quick on the draw. In other words, the two disc-less next-gen consoles aren't designed to compete directly with one another.īoth consoles remain in high demand. That's not a huge surprise – the PS5 Digital Edition is simply a standard PS5 with the disc drive removed, whereas the Xbox Series S has a number of performance downgrades when compared to the Xbox Series X. The PS5 Digital Edition is quite a bit more expensive, at £390 / $399, AU$650. ![]() The Xbox Series S costs just £249 / $299 / AU$499. There are more affordable, disc-less versions of each console available. The Xbox Series X is slightly cheaper in the UK and Australia – it costs £449 / $499 / AU$749. ![]() In August 2022, Sony raised the price of the PlayStation 5 (disc edition) in certain countries. ![]()
