EDIT: I’m just reporting what I saw on their page. I have no opinion on it, but enjoy reading tech wiz’s opinions on it.

TLDR of IGN’s explanation: “The Series S CPU is faster than the PS5’s”

 

[GamerEDM]

inb4 the angry mob

The CPU is more powerful on the Xbox Series S

 

[INC]

"Space reserved"

 

[ManaByte]

The CPU is faster than the PS5s.

 

[killatopak]

What?

 

[Sleepwalker]

 

[Lionel Richie]

NONONONO DELET THIS

 

[scydrex]

The CPU is faster than the PS5s.

By how much?

 

[Agnostic2020]

The CPU is faster than the PS5s.

S scydrex
Its not
Its 3.4 ghz 8c 16t for xss vs 3.5 ghz 8c 16t ps5

 

[Redlancet]

Most of these articles read as paid advertising, lol

 

[Insane Metal]

The CPU is faster than the PS5s.

Lol

Not using multi threading, which is... what usually happens? Also... what about all the rest?

 

[Noctis114]

Jesus christ abandon thread, RUN!!

 

[onQ123]

3.6Ghz without SMT is not better than 3.5Ghz with SMT

these fools lol

 

[anothertech]

Bwahahahahaha

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Ign. Keep this to yourself!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

PS5 has a Zen2 at 3.5 ghz.

Series S has a Zen2 at 3.6 ghz (3.4 ghz w/ SMT)

Looks like a wash.

Well yeah but PS5 has the ssd(Secret Sauce Drive) so xbox is screwed.

 

[MasterCornholio]

The CPU is faster than the PS5s.

Xbox Series S hardware specs: an affordable, capable next-gen console

Meet the affordable new Xbox designed for 1440p gaming

Is there something that I'm not seeing here?

I'm just curious as to when developers won't use SMT.

 

[FStubbs]

Isn't the RAM muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch slower in the Series S?

 

[anothertech]

Switch is faster than both according to ign

 

[Bladed Thesis]

Never change IGN.

 

[mckmas8808]

inb4 the angry mob

The CPU is more powerful on the Xbox Series S

But it's not. Why is IGN so stupid?

 

[Wandering Leopard]

Have to applaud the headline, it's doing what it's meant to and they know it.

 

[Rolla]

This is a new low for ign, right?

I mean the specs are part of public record and while I'm no tech expert the difference in speed is quite clearly vast.

Do they know they are also ruining their reputation?

We've caught out the people that don't know what they're talking about.

 

[ethomaz]

Actually it is 100Mhz weaker than PS5.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Out there some where the last word is reading this

 

[Hudo]

Who gives a flying fuck if both have shitty launch line-ups

 

[Lestat Phoenix]

Microsoft slapping the shit outta sony lol

 

[Convicsik]

The Atari Jaguar had 64 bits ....

 

[Psyrgery ES]

The CPU in the Series S should be faster than that in the PS5.

I mean, the Series S has to render everything at 1440p at most, whereas the PS5 targets 4k

Honestly, it will be very interesting to see how this dwarf console performs

 

[onQ123]

You trolls do know that this stuff always backfire right?

That's not how it works lmao

 

[Knitted Knight]

Gotta drive that traffic. I like it.

 

[Zoro7]

So we have gone from TF being the most important spec, SSD not being important and now CPU being the most important. Cool beans.

 

[makaveli60]

Actually, this is a good one. Xbox fans can be happy, and PS fans can be happy too, as shit like this might force soony to come out from their bunker.

 

[Michael Hawk]

But it's not. Why is IGN so stupid?

They're not stupid. "Could" is a possibility/variable, and they choose such wording because it allows them to getaway with console warring nonsense that generates hits for them (archaic business model, but they never learn until the end.)

Sorta like how you can say anything untrue about someone/something as long as you attach a question mark at the end. For example, "Is IGN run by dehydrated carrots?"

 

[Jtibh]

Ign. Call 1 800 IGNORE for when you need a spindoctor.

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

Actually it is 100Mhz weaker than PS5.

Actually PS5 is variable clock

 

[mckmas8808]

Gotta drive that traffic. I like it.

It's incredible that a company like that can be so bad.

 

[mejin]

You trolls do know that this stuff always backfire right?

haha let them bark

 

[Bonfires Down]

Can't ruin what you don't have.

HAHAHA!!!! Oh man......I hope their editors don't think this is a good strategy long term.

 

[Evangelion Unit-01]

Similar takes on Twitter. Both the initial statements and the replies have been equally embarrassing.

People comparing apples and oranges while everyone is drinking lemonade.

 

[Lestat Phoenix]

They are pumping out hard facts. Tightin up that bib little fella it's going to be ok...

You used to need some technical knowledge to write about hardware - I guess anyone can do it now
