[HARDWARE] the hardware that will carry the PS5 and the Xbox Series x

[YaKuZa--BoSs]

Now that we already know, at least roughly in some cases, the hardware that the SONY PS5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X will carry, it is inevitable to ask the question of how much an equivalent PC would cost us, right? In this article we are going to see if it is possible to mount a gaming PC equivalent to PS5 and Xbox Series X, trying to adjust the price as much as possible since although it is not confirmed, it is known that both consoles will be around 500 euros.

When the launch of a new generation of consoles occurs, it is precisely the moment in which they offer their best power / price ratio, since over the years new hardware comes out and the old one is devalued. Likewise, it is important to keep in mind that both SONY and Microsoft will have to launch their consoles with quite aggressive starting prices, which could even cause them to lose money by selling their consoles in the hope of recovering it later with games.

In any case, remember for example when the PS4 hit the market with a price of 400 euros; To have its power we needed a PC with a Radeon HD 7850 that back then cost about 220 euros, as well as a quad-core AMD processor that cost another 130 euros. Already between these two things were almost the 400 euros that the console cost, and it was still missing to add the other components.

 

 

 

 

Given this data, we are facing an AMD Zen 2 APU manufactured at 7 nm with eight cores and sixteen threads, which is why we would go for an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X processor, which although it will clearly be superior to that of the consoles , choosing a 2600X would be an understatement in the number of cores and threads. The price of a 2700X is currently around 180 euros.
