The same people that say “At least you don’t need to replace the CPU or RAM when you upgrade your PC” are the same people saying “PS5 Pro is gonna suck because they didn’t replace the CPU or RAM!”.
This build is comparing a 6 core CPU to an 8 core in Pro, a PCI-E x4 SSD with a max 5,150MBps read and 4,900MBps write to PS5 Pro’s SSD with 8-9 GB/s thanks to its dedicated hardware compressor/decompressor, the Radeon GPU lacks the RDNA4 raytracing features found in Pro, it costs as much as a Pro with a 4K Blu-Ray drive added on but it doesn’t have a disc drive, and they didn’t include the price of the operating system or a keyboard, mouse, and controller.
This isn’t even considering PSSR, 3D audio, or haptic feedback that are missing from this PC build.
This is a ridiculous comparison… Sorry PCMR, you’re going to have to try harder than that.
