Nope - ps5 is same as last generation GPU in terms of both performance and features (e.g. Nvidia Turing). The 1050ti is the generation before that (Pascal). M1

Nope - ps5 is same as last generation GPU in terms of both performance and features (e.g. Nvidia Turing). The 1050ti is the generation before that (Pascal).
M1 has "variable rate shading", and "streaming memory compression" (since, at least, A12) - in addition to many, many more features both before and since. I don't understand why you would think otherwise. Go read the docs.
We can't just talk about "faster memory", as the architecture is so completely different. But lets just start by saying that it is DDR4 in the M1 vs DDR3 (GDDR5) in the 1050ti. i.e. its MUCH lower latency, and has a higher bandwidth per module. It is also utilises a unified memory pool. i.e. the CPU can GPU access the same memory - so there is no "transfer" involved. This isn't your "shared memory integrated GPU" of old.
As I said, there is no fair benchmark to compare theses two. Based on openGL, the m1 wins. You think the 1050ti features would make it more performant - I'm saying the m1 has those same features (and more), that also wouldn't be utilised up by a simple openGL benchmark.
By all means enjoy your ps5. It is a great console (I want one myself), and it isn't being threatened by the m1.
But don't deceive yourself into thinking it is something magical, or cutting edge - or that a trillion-dollar computer hardware designer and manufacturer doesn't have the know-how to create something as performant.
