    It is.
    CPU is only about 200Mhz slower

    • Series X: 3.8 GHz, 3.6 GHz with SMT
    • Series S: 3.6 GHz, 3.4 GHz with SMT

    But there’s much less RAM to work with and it’s slower by a LARGE margin

    • Series X: 10 GB/320-bit & 6 GB/192-bit (16 GB total)
    • Series S: 8 GB/128-bit & 2 GB/32-bit (10 GB total)

    And the GPU used in the S is less than half the power

    • Series X: 52 CUs @ 1.825 GHz, 12.16 TFLOPS
    • Series S: 20 CUs @ 1.565 GHz, 4.01 TFLOPS

    So it’s not just a little weaker, in 2 of the 3 areas (CPU/Memory/GPU) it’s massively cut down.

      Yeah, having the series S as baseline seems untenable, lest all games get held back on the whole platform.
