The Xbox runs on a custom OS derived from Windows Core. Not the same as a consumer version of Windows.
[Edit] The answer you’re probably looking for is I/O. The PS5 is much faster than the Series X in terms of getting stuff off disk and actually using it. That more than compensates for the small speed advantage the Series X has.
- whalesalad 1y ago> derived from Windows Core if you polish a turd, it's still a turd.
- Rohansi 1y agoThe kernel is fine, it's all that crap they keep shoving into userspace that's the issue.
- nick__m 1y agoI consider that the core of Windows (the NT kernel and win32 api) is actually a very polished gem but it is encased in layers of upon layers of barely polished turds ( winui, the win11 shell, the over agressive telemetry, forced ms635 integration, etc..)
- buildbot 1y agoMakes sense, given that allegedly Windows NT is very much next gen OpenVMS... https://www.itprotoday.com/server-virtualization/windows-nt-and-vms-the-rest-of-the-story https://www.itprotoday.com/server-virtualization/windows-nt-...
- AHTERIX5000 1y agoThe kernel might be a polished gem but win32 API? Practical is a term I'd use as win32 has managed to survive to this day but that came with a boatload of hacks and problems. It's ugly.
- eru 1y agoWhen you run Steam games on Linux that mostly goes via a version of Wine, which implements win32. Yes, win32 is ugly, and so is x86.
