Question Why is the Xbox Series S weaker than the Series X ?

[Reza_15]

Hi

why Xbox Series S is weaker than the Series X when both have same hardware !
Especially in GPU , series S has 1/3 Teraflops less (12 vs 4) with same chipset !

Well, its website says the difference is the Processor, not GPU - https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/consoles/compare
but that isn't accurate

CPU runs 200mhz faster in the X
GPU
Series X GPU has 52 CU @ 1.82ghz
Series S has 20 CU running @ 1.56ghz

more ram running at a faster speed in X
more storage 1tb in X vs 512gb in S
Blue ray drive (on X only)

Xbox Series X vs. Xbox Series S: What's the Difference?

Microsoft has two new Xbox consoles coming out November 10. Here's how they stack up when it comes to price, power, size, and more.

the 30 missing CU in GPU is the main difference.

ever since AMD got the contract to supply both the latest gen xbox's and ps5 they are all using the same hardware basically just clocked differently !!

I owned a series s, now I have the series x. Basically cpu is slightly slower but not much, less ram, and a little bit weaker gpu.

That said if you’ve got an older TV or monitor or just don’t have much cash get a series s. If you’ve got a 4K TV that can handle hdr and have older disc based games or have to have better graphics get the series x. Personally I’m glad I upgraded to the series x. Not that the series s was terrible but I feel like sometimes you can tell a difference. The graphics just seem a bit more crisp imo.
