Honest thoughts on Xbox Project Helix?Microsoft and Sony have tapped AMD to deliver their next-gen hardware. The CPU technology is based on the latest Zen 6 architecture, while the graphics side of the equation taps into the upcoming RDNA 5. In both areas, Microsoft is said to have more hardware, along with a wider memory interface - 192-bit vs Sony's 160-bit bus.There are also differences in processors. Project Helix is credited with three high-performance Zen 6 cores and eight energy-efficient Zen 6c cores. PS6, according to rumors, will mainly use Zen 6c cores and additional low-power blocks.Differences are also noticeable in graphics. Xbox may receive up to 68 RDNA 5 compute units, while PS6 will receive about 54.

what's the point of game consoles anymore when they're just trying to be all in one home media centers and all the games are ported to pc anyway?
>>108353240Nintendo binds the hardware to software for full control of the whole experience. There hasn't been a point for consoles for years beyond exclusives which is why PC+Nintendo has been the most based way to game.
>>108352705does it matter?they are PCs with their dick in DRM chastity belt and all i need is bing bing wahoo man for consoles which neither sony or ms gives me
In terms of available content it will be far ahead of PS6 mainly thanks to the inclusion of windows. It will also have stronger hardware. All former playstation exclusives ported to PC will become available on xbox as well and it's too late for sony to stop that. And sony also focused a lot on failed live service projects rather than actually making desirable single-player exclusives. "PS5 has no games" is still mostly true unless you count games available on other platforms. The main concerns with project helix is high price (potentially as high as 1600$) and it being less convenient due to you having to use windows for a lot of titles that never got a console version made for project helix (some people think there will not be any native releases to begin with). PC gaming is winning and there isn't anything sony can do to stop that anymore.
>>108352705Pointless. The last big meaningful leap in console was from PlayStation to PS2/Xbox/Gamecube. There hasn't even been a big enough jump in graphics to warrant a new console. At this point, other than a tiny handful of exclusives, there's no difference in game libraries from PlayStation and Xbox. They might as well merge together.
>>108353709>PC+Nintendo>PCThat shit is for work and let's keep it that way.
>>108353765The current consoles have terribly slow cpus by today's standards
>>108353976Faster CPUs isn't going to change the fact that their libraries are basically the same and exclusives have been dwindling over time. It won't change the fact that the last "holy shit" leap was from PSX to PS2/Xbox/Gamecube.
