Written by While rumors have indicated that there might be a power difference of around 30 percent between the upcoming next-generation consoles – the PS6 and Microsoft’s Project Helix – a new report by Moore’s Law is Dead indicates that this difference will end up becoming more of a “frame rate” war between the platforms. When it comes to image quality, however, both consoles are expected to be on par with each other.
In a video analyzing the potential performance of the PS6 and Project Helix based on the hardware specifications that have been leaked so far, Moore’s Law is Dead drew comparisons like Project Helix having 70 compute units, compared to the PS6’s 54. Similarly, there is also some speculation on their respective processors’ clock speeds.
The YouTuber brought up the fact that, in the current console generation, while Xbox Series X has “better compute” than the PS5, Sony’s console was helped by the fact that it has better cooling systems, allowing it to run at higher speeds for longer times before heat becomes an issue. He noted that the difference between the two consoles in terms of horsepower came down to arguing about the Xbox Series X’s 12.1 teraFLOPS versus PS5’s 10.3 teraFLOPS.
