Why PS5 OUTPERFORMS Xbox - How Cerny OUTSMARTED Microsoft
Today, we examine some very interesting comments which reveal WHY the PS5 beats the Xbox in performance, despite having lower hardware specs. Join us as we examine the GENIUS of Mark Cerny's design for the Playstation 5, and exactly WHY it manages to outperform Microsoft's console despite weaker specifications. This involves a dive into the PS5 architecture, compute units, clock speeds, and even Sony's GPU compiler. But you will learn WHY the PS5 beats the Xbox Series X across some games in gaming and ray tracing performance, and why hardware specs and big number go up are not always the most important factor.
We also touch on the PS5 Pro, and what the wider GPU and more CUs rumoured for the mid gen refresh console could mean for the console. With the current generation well into it's life cycle and the Playstation 5 Pro on the horizon, get comfy as we discuss the latest on the genius of Cerny's design.

Cerny's designs seem like they exceed expectations you'd form from looking at the spec sheets. The PS4 Pro looked like it would have no business competing with higher spec platforms, yet it had a ton of Best Graphics nominations and awards. I'm expecting the new Pro to elevate it more than expected with their Pisser/ PSSR upscaling tech similar to how the PS4 Pro overachieved with checkerboard rendering. There was a lot of speculation than there would be a significant downgrade from XSX to PS5, but I just haven't seen that materialize.

[@minus3dbintheteens60]

To save you 20 mins, PS5 is faster bc clock speed. 2 cores at 1ghz is slower than 1 core at 2ghz, every single time. Cache, ROPs, registers, everything runs faster. This is the same for memory too, quad channel 3200 is slower than dual channel 6400, even though both do 60GB/s, that is theoretical, it can never actually do that in the real world, the reason is if you have to pull data concurrently from just 1 memory module because thats where it happens to be, then you arent using all the channels and bandwidth, in fact unless the data happens to be sorted in such a way so each memory access interleaves from 1 to the next physical memory module, you will never get anywhere near that theoretical number. PS5 has higher pixel fill rate, so more AA, physics, particles and framerates. Xbox has a higher texture fill rate

[@B-U-T-C-H-E-R]

In terms of the physical design, the PS5 actually has a complex design, and I find it much more visually appealing than....... a box. I'm excited to see the pro version. When comparing Sony to Microsoft in hardware, it's clear which company is the hardware company

og PS1 , og fat PS2 , launch PSP , launch PS Vita are Sonys best looking hardware imo. I also don't mind the PS4 Pro translucent blue 500th anniversary edition / 25th anniversary grey , but PS5 is just ugly to me any way you look at unless you change the faceplates and heavily mod It to look decent. THE greatest looking consoles Sony ever made imo are specifically the 2001 European automobile car collection color variants of the fat PS2 , I think It was when they were celebrating the promotion of Gran Turismo 3 A Spec ( I had one of these limited editions brand new mint condition never opened but sold It years ago regretfully) , and my second favorite looking Playstation Is the 1996/1997 matte black net yaroze dev kit PS1.

[@ablet85]

Hard disagree, as an older gamer I’ll pay more for a product not to look out of place for my set up. The Xbox doesn’t look good but it sure doesn’t clash with the rest of my set up like the ps5 does. PS5 tells “look, I game”. same as RGB. Xbox just blends in with the rest and goes mostly unnoticed by those who don’t game.

@@fawkkyutuu8851 Sure, from a purely aesthetic point of view, I could see the PS5 being polarizing, but I think it looks like a Tesla. To me it looks futuristic and awesome. From a performance standpoint, the PS3 suffered because of the cell processor being difficult to utilize, and the PS1 and PS2 were also heavily customized and not the best for developers. It was Cerny that started building the consoles for the developers first, and that's been great for everyone. He's also the one that started doing pro versions, which I'm personally a fan of

[@B-U-T-C-H-E-R]

@@feedogg3946 The SSD gets used all the time, you clearly don't own a PS5. They've used it to great effect in many games. The instant fast travelling in spiderman 2, and the dimension hopping in ratchet and clank are 2 that come to mind. Sure it might not be fully utilized on games being held back by needing to be multiplatform, that have to run on series S, but even in those cases you still get faster load times, and snappier responses dipping in and out of menus. I can tell a difference when I'm playing Helldivers 2, and I'm playing with all PS5 buddies, when we drop down in the drop pods it's consistently much faster than times where we have PC guys mixed in and they have lesser performance even if they have an SSD. It's very noticable

[@fawkkyutuu8851]

Mark Cerny did a good Job turning Playstation around after PS3 caused them some financial loss and basically squandered an entire generation of would be runaway success by trying to over ambitiously follow up PS2 but being unprepared where it matters most which is games , but I still don't think Mark Sony is a genius or on the same level as Kwn Kutaragi and the old upper mamagement brass that was running Sony during the PS1 and PS2 eras , when Sony and Playstation were unapologetically a Japanese gaming company first , and were proud to be different and quirky and not as concerned with appealing solely to western audiences , and alot more niche games and risky ideas were greenlit and invested in. Mark Cerny feels like a conservative and safe Sony yes man that's following trends not bravely pushing innovation like the old heads who started Playstation used to. People give this same type of undeserved credit to Phil Spencer for Xbox and the guys done nothing special to help that brand he's just a generic corporate suit who says a lot of nothing and plays the brand safe.

[@pweddy1]

Having enough bandwidth to get data to and from the CPU and GPU is a huge requirement. My gut instinct for the problem with the VEGA architecture was that it was able to get data to the shaders but didn’t have enough ROP performance to handle the load coming from the CUs. This is why it was great for compute but lagged in graphics performance. This is also why they were able to make major performance improvements on the APU implementations. It would have been interesting to see a standalone GPU that was based on the final architecture used by the APUs. You had 8 CUs significantly outperforming the original 11 CU version. That’s around a 40% improvement. And the CUs were 1/2 the transistor count of Navi. In the end, I think it was a great mobile architecture at the very least because it was so small.

[@stephenblackie-fu1sr]

Thats all cool but my ps5 keeps having probs like its a tempremental thing its started doing the green and black screen thingy havent been able to turn it on for days

[@Ivan-pr7ku]

Cerny's choice for narrower (fewer CUs) GPU in PS5 was to give game dev's more direct path to full utilization of the GPU, since the SoC can be clocked higher. Not all shader kernels can provide work for all the compute units in the GPU and this can lead to under-utilization, if there's no possibility to engage async execution. Exception is ray-tracing, where any BVH uber-shader will eat as many CUs as there are available.

This at the devs stage of the game, not the end user. It doesn't matter if the target is static, if the produced code is less efficient it hits every time the game is run. Producing that type of code by hand is not within the skill set of most developers, so if the same high level code leads to inferior binaries on a platform, that penalty will always be there.

Actually, Digital Foundry explained it last year after talking to quite a few devs. It's very simple and not tech-related at all - devs simply optimize it better for the leading console, as it makes more sense. On top of that, a ton of Xbox features are not even used, despite also being on PC. The big one, in my opinion, is Sampler Feedback, which was supposed to help with memory use, especially on Series S. But Velocity Architecture is also up there, I would say. And I for one, think that this is sad, really. Beause of that, not only the experience on Xbox is worse, but, by extension, the experience on PC is much worse.

[@Pyke_]

and now we're seeing news saying exactly the opposite: even series S is beating the PS5....

[@Playstation5SWEDEN]

Its not hard to figure out. Its about OPTIMIZATION. Not cause of anything Sony did. The PS5 has way more install base. So devs optimize for the PS5 natively FIRST and then port it over to Series X/S with minimal time spent in true native optimization.

[@ik4659]

Microsoft expected developers to code smarter with the Series X|S design - or, more like, engineers thought developers would code smarter - where Sony just simply gave developers more of the same just with better specs. There is a bunch of technology in the Series X|S that just never got used as developers (or should I say, publishers) favored the PS5. Basically, anything that is part of the full RDNA 2 Architecture has been ignored by developers because PS5 is the "lead platform". Unfortunately, this also screws over PC players because, again, developers are targeting the PS5 and essentially "porting" PS5 code to Xbox/PC. The whole idea behind Xbox (and PC gaming) is switching to this idea of "doing more with less". AI Upscaling, VRS, Sampler Feedback, Mesh Shaders, etc. are all meant to create headroom on system resources for better results (whether it be higher performance or higher visual fidelity). But, since PlayStation 5 doesn't support any of it on a hardware level, developers haven't even bothered using it! There are some exceptions, such as Alan Wake 2 - which runs better on Series X than PS5 simply because DX12 uses the more performant Mesh Shaders where PS5 uses AMD's Primitive Shaders. In essence, the PlayStation 5 is holding back advances made in development across the board by just throwing more power at the problem rather than utilizing smarter hardware. Hopefully with the PS5 Pro supporting all those advanced features, it means more games will actually utilize these advanced features and PC/Xbox will actually see their feature sets getting used more often and game technology will actual progress. Honestly, it's sad Sony has that kind of grip of actual advancement. While I applaud Sony's ability to dominate in the console space, I just hate that developers are also constrained by it as publishers don't give them the time they need to explore other technology outside of ensuring the "lead platform" gets the attention. I don't hate the PS5, by the way. I love Sony's first-party output. I just feel like it hasn't done anything to move the needle in terms of technological advancement. It's just more of the same only with more horsepower. Microsoft engineers tried to move the needle by having advanced hardware-level capabilities (that also exist in the PC-space), but never gained a foothold in the market for developers to focus on it.

[@gene081976]

The performance difference doesn’t seems huge. Sure we can say a game that was release for XBOX and PS5, runs a little better in PS5 than XBOX, but it’s not like large difference. And from what I can tell, it’s due to Sony using lower level APIs… which by design suppose to give you faster performance; but it doesn’t mean higher level API and middleware API is stupid either. The reasons why companies invented and uses higher level APIs is to sacrifice a little performance for wider compatibility as a platform. Especially when a software is targeted to run one multiple devices of different hardware. (My guess is to run on Series S and Series X). For a sacrifice in performance it does make sense for MS engineers to use this approach versus Sony. This also means, porting the same game build for XBOX would be easier to port to Windows, provided MS provides the same API libraries in Windows as in XBOX. This would also mean for PS5 exclusive games to be ported to Windows, the developers would have to fill the gap of capability from using that lower level API that is exclusive to PS, and not Windows/PC. My hypothesis is that XBOX games from the original XBOX through XBOX One were developed using these higher API model, so, it was easier to create virtual environments to be “backward compatible” with those games on their current gen system. And similarly, current gen XBOX games would run without a lot of work in future XBOX console generations. This could be millions of dollars of costs savings in developing and porting work in the future (when using higher level APIs).

[@jhonrock2386]

When you respec your char and put all points in strengh...

[@epobirs]

When it comes to port optimization, it isn't just about time, it's also about the likely amount of business the port is expected to produce. If putting off th release date on all platforms meant a lot more business from better ports, the devs would be given that month. But secondary versions of a game generally don't reward that investment in the opinion of those dictating the budgets, both financial and time. The PS4 Pro and Xbox One X made for nice demos but neither had an installed base that justified realizing their full potential, especially as entirely new hardware was looming on the horizon. So they were worth having for affluent gamers but were never going to receive the optimization investment needed to be fully utilized. Much the same has happened for the Xbox Series X. For most publishers who aren't Microsoft, boosting the platform by going the extra mile on optimization just isn't in the budget for a platform in a distant second place for the high end market. (Nintendo doesn't really factor in there as they've succeeded by not joining that battle and focusing on reaching their market by other routes of appeal. There are few gamers who view owning a Switch as eliminating the need for either a PS5 or Series X. If the money isn't a concern, owning both an F-150 and a Porsche is not redundant.)

the real reason is because they have to build their game to run on series S as well as X THE end....a few devolpers muttered about it and MS told them STFU and not mention it

[@SpudCommando]

in other words ps5 is more "optimized" on a low level basis. direct x is more general purpose which allows it to scale for lots of hardware but at the cost of overhead.

Paul Burgundy back again

[@UncannySense]

Paul been hiding that 3d V cache

[@asifgetto]

my question is how come ps 5 and x box series x using the same hardware like similer gpu,processor and ram size??? whos leaking the blue prints to microsoft

[@Mr.Swolo90]

[@ConsiderbeBased]

I'm here for the comments, not disappointed 😂🎉💪

[@DanielPerez-hy6qi]

And yet, I did not learn anything new..

[@khalidamajoud4114]

Not even the Tflops diffrence would warrant calling the dealta significant. The PS5 is a more efficient machine...it is better designed as a gaming console.

[@VictorHugoAlvarez-eternelymiss]

Holy Molly Paul at least left one girl for me.

[@jackoblllllllll]

Didn’t know my Barbarian from Diablo is into technology n shit

[@jeremysumpter8939]

[@lalilulelothepatriots7228]

Good to see Paul working out.

[@Pillokun]

just before I click play, it is probably because of the single pool of system ram instead of how Xbox Series X has it, ie one for gpu and one a bit slower for cpu? ok now I hit play.

[@chrispressley4644]

RGT low key a damn beast… hell yeah brother

[@AD34534]

Whatttt? Bro was jacked this whole time???

[@dante19890]

[@tristman8413]

Someone picked the nerd rage perk 😂

[@thej-man9341]

I guess I'll throw my X away and pick up PS5 Pro when it comes out.

[@ingamgoduka57]

Another advantage for PS5 are the high clocks on GPU they always favor performance than multi-cores at low clock speed.

[@GoHardOrGoHome85]

The ps5 is running mostly upgraded last gen games.Lets see how an unreal engine 5 games runs on it oh yea we did it runs like crap

[@Fidelb33r]

Paul is on the brolic way
