Ever since Sony and Microsoft revealed the system specifications for PS5 and Xbox Series X, their next-generation consoles due to launch this Holiday season, and the console war reignited in an instant.

To be frank, on the outset at least, the winner in this particular area seemed pretty clear. Xbox Series X has roughly 2 TFLOPs more than the PS5, thanks to the 52 Compute Units against PlayStation 5's 36. Sure, the specs also listed a much faster I/O throughput for the PS5 (9 GB/s vs 4.8), but conventional wisdom dictated that compute power would matter more.
