The Xbox uses 14 Gbps GDDR6. It is less expensive than 16 Gbps GDDR6. Sony might spend more for the 16 Gbps in order to deliver more bandwidth over 256 bit bus. Or they might just be fine with 448 GB/s. That’s still more than twice what PS4 Pro has at 217 GB/s.

The amazing choice would be to spend the huge amount of cash to deliver 24 GB of GDDR6. Not gonna happen but even at 448 GB/s having like 20+ GB of memory for devs would be fucking huge. But won’t happen...
It is twice the PS4 pro. Of course the pro was bandwidth starved so only doubling bandwidth while increasing power more than 2x, would again result in a bandwidth starved console.

Hmmm nah I see it similar to last Gen just Sony waiting it out to see micros hand only difference is Microsoft was also trying to do the same and I guess last Gen thy didnt care so much about that.
Last gen there was february mid reveal for sony, then ms may reveal (i will never forget that day, i will never forgive ms for what the did to xbox, i had ps3 previously but 360 appealed to me more, to the point that even my friends switched to xbox but then, after the ms reveal, tvtvtsportstvsportstvwatercoolertv, i marched to the shop and traded in my xbox and switched sides once again to ps, team blue ever since. I remeber my words that day, that i will never forgive ms, just like bioware for masseffect 3 ending) then E3 and gamescom... world was different back then. Damned virus.

I am guessing that MS was aware of Sony plans for reveal and decided to beat them to the punch. Or they simply forced Sony’s hand.

That being said, i always consider a possibility to buy new xbox but only as a secondary machine to ps5.

This will be great. Tomorrow we got all the info on PS5, so we'll know who is better at what, and we can stop with this insider stuff. And then Microsoft can start deducting what the BOM is, and if it makes sense to release Lockhart of which we'll get some information hopefully also before E3.

Awesome news, can't wait!

So much for "You think they are gonna reveal anything about PS5 during Corona crisis?" from a few users here (you know who you are).
 
Personally, I think Sony is in a position to match specs, but possibly not exceed them depending on if they went monolithic with their design like Mircorosft has. I also have a lot of faith in the 11.6 rumor is true quite frankly. But with the design Microsoft has chosen, I think they have the headroom to up-clock prior to launch which will most likely require a day 1 firmware update. I'm not choosing sides here, but it's just my opinion as the've done it before with the Xbox One which also had a decent thermal design considering the giant grill on top. Either way, I really do want both consoles under my TV as both have their merits.
