FYI, AMD's True-Audio Next includes raytracing. Read https://gpuopen.com/gaming-product/true-audio-next/

I never saw so much interest in SSD since PS5 reveal !

That's theoretical 22 GB/s.

Ever since they showed the Spiderman demo. People got interested but it more than just that load times. Sure we will have have high res games this time but Pro and X already did that, we will have prettier gfx but it is nothing compared to upgrade from a HDD to game made for SSD. SSD is the real next gen experience.
No, it’s because of the much better CPU and GPU.
Much more power.
What advantage does an SSD provide for non-Open world games except reduced loading times?

Boot your PC in 5 seconds. It’s insane. I think users who neglected SSD didn’t see it until most all new PCs came packaged with one. Once you see the difference you’ll never want to go back. I think exposure and that user experience wasn’t on everyone’s priority list.
It’s going to be insane how snappy everything is going to be.

We already have great gfx, we already have game hitting 60fps. SSD is something we have not seen before. It removes the bottleneck of previous consoles by how quickly data can be transferred to the ram
This game is just a glimpse why SSD matters.
It is no wonder why next gen games cannot be playable from HDD. I think if some how they even allow it. The game will run so bad that it will be unplayable. Honestly, this is the best next gen feature

Still better than movie's reveal trailer
Yup, Power of the Cell, Power of the Cloud, now Power of the SSD, you can smell from miles away whenever a company tries to move the attention away from bad design/lack of power.

Beside being less powerful, what is objectively bad about it?
The funny thing is that out of the two past examples you quoted we saw actual evidence of one and only far fetched hype of the other, so if we have to predict what Sony making the new SSD one of the cornerstones of PS4 would mean... mmh, you did not choose the best examples IMHO
.I thought with CELL, Sony really thought they had the power advantage and developers would comply with the high learning to get the most out of the console and from the chatter back then maybe quite a few devs were surprised of the bottlenecks in RSX people also had to learn how to work around.

How can you not be excited for it?
Fortnite for example has at least three different loading screens and takes around 10mins to boot up and get into a game.
If this gets reduced to just time to get into a server and go then that is next-gen.

Well I am mainly a PlayStation (and Nintendo) gamer. But in the end 13TF are 13TF and it is more than 9 or 10 TF.

The 10 of faster speed won't be as much as what the P5 has available.The split RAM configuration in the XBox Series X is absolutely no problem, and because of the faster 10GB RAM which will be used only for games, the XBox Series X still has the advantage there too

yes ps5 wasn't 13TF as some rumors had it, but series X is only 12TF.

Hell no bro, I'm gonna buy a PS5 and rip out that monstrous of a ssd so I can upgrade my pc with 300 percent

not that easy, a good portion of the ps5's ssd magic is outside the ssd, it's in the custom i/o in the apu. edit: also it might be soldered to the motherboard.

I'll probably get the new XSX, all my fears about storage speeds, etc have been allayed now that the third party peripheral guys are on board.

More flops or faster SSD?
I think the choice is obvious.
Take the faster SSD any day of the week!

SSD is not ''the power of the cloud'' scam.
We already know what more Tflops mean, on the other hand, we don't know what faster SSD means. Maybe nothing. Time will tell.
ignorance.

All of these comparisons are useless, though. These are three different systems with very different implementations. PS5 has been designed from the ground up with efficiency as its focus. The Series X has been designed with an eye for the highest level of graphical fidelity. And the PC is tailored to and customized by each individual user.
We can't compare the performance of the PS5 to a PC because they are not built the same way. Nor can we compare it to the Series X because they are not built the same way. Of course each person will gravitate to the platform that emphasizes their own priorities (engineering elegance, power, or customization), but that's no indicator that one is better than the other. Rather it's just an appreciation for the ethos behind the machine.
That being said, PS5 High School football rules!

fanboys They always gotta find something to fight. Last gen was gpu wars,before it was cpu wars, now is ssd wars. I dont get it honestly if console fanboys were that interested in hardware they should have build a pc

There wasn't. That's the point. However the power of the cloud will actually come to fruition with Microsoft Flight Simulator. The use of Microsoft Bing and Azure has the potential to revolutionize open world gaming.

Wonder which forums you were looking at back then, because at the start of this generation Tera flops were everything, right until the reveal of the One X.

You're differentiating between the start of this generation and the first console announced?
I can't do that because i give very few fucks about such nuances~ and consequently didn't track them.. certainly only started seeing threads about it with noticeable regularity after
