Default Xbox Series X and PS5 may both have two variants

The upcoming consoles the Microsoft*Xbox Series X and Sony PS5 have been teased a lot. And the newest leak suggests that both the consoles could have two variants. A forum user at NeoGAF*suggested that he has news which confirms this. The mid-ranged consoles are usually introduced middle of the cycle. But the companies are apparently planning to introduce these together so that these can get a full 7 year cycle.

The top end Xbox Series X console according to the person proving the leak comes with 12 teraflops of processing power. The mid-tier one would be less than this. The Sony PlayStation 5 would have 9 teraflops for the top end model. The top end models will also be quite expensive.

Sony PS5 specifications

The Sony PlayStation 5 is likely to come with a custom AMD Zen 2 CPU with a custom AMD GPU that supports ray-tracing and 3D audio technology. The memory of the upcoming PS5 is still not revealed but it does have SSD storage. It carries HDR support and now even supports 8K resolution. The Sony PS5 will also have an upgraded controller for next-gen gaming and a Blu-ray player built in.
