- PS5 and Xbox Series X specs include a detail that sounds great on paper: The consoles will feature next-gen GPUs capable of more teraflops than ever.
- Several game developers explained what that extra GPU performance can be used for, providing actual examples that you might encounter in PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X games as soon as this year.
- Hair quality is one great example, as rendering and simulating hair has been relatively tricky on previous-generation video game consoles.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 announcement is still nowhere to be found, but the Japanese gaming giant can’t delay it for much longer. Microsoft is already two steps ahead, having revealed the Xbox Series X name and design in December, and most of its specs in mid-February. But regardless of what the PS5 looks like, it’ll have almost the same hardware as the Series X, and it’ll deliver the same type of performance. In fact, it might deliver even better performance if the massive PS5 specs leak from earlier this week was accurate.
Thanks to Microsoft’s surprise Xbox Series X specs announcement, we know exactly what to expect in terms of graphics performance from the Series X: 12 teraflops of GPU power. That’s incredible, and a huge upgrade over the Xbox One X, but what does it really mean? Teraflops alone don’t really explain what the new gaming rig will be capable of, just like megapixels aren’t the only important thing about a camera. However, several developers explained what the GPU upgrade is all about, and their explanations will help eager gamers better understand the big improvements they can expect from the PS5 and XSX.
