Interesting quotes in the twitter thread:
“To elaborate a bit, that quote was referring to the whole console, but the speaker emphasized the CPU (which has long been a bottleneck for gaming consoles) and the SSD (which is said to allow for some wild possibilities vis-à-vis loading times, open worlds, etc)”
“Yeah I was talking to one engineer who was baffled that anyone cares about theoretical maximum hardware speeds – teraflops seem to matter most to console warriors, which is oh so boring”
“Teraflops seem to matter most to console warriors”. That is about as truthful a statement I’ve seen about the new consoles in quite some time. But that tidbit of wisdom is going to be lost on so many today. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some massive trolling from either side of the “war” if PS5 is just .1 TF greater than or less than XSX.
