The Playstation 5 is more power-hungry than a GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q gaming laptop

[Redaktion]

At a whopping 200 W when gaming, the PS5 demands as much power as some of the fastest gaming laptops you can buy at the moment. The Asus Strix Scar 15 with the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, for example, consumes 201 W when gaming.

200W is not a big number when gaming considering the peformance the PS5 can deliver.

So , consume 200W instead 184W , but with large better performance ?
okay

Why are you comparing the PS5's power consumption to only one piece of a computer?  Of course its power consumption will be higher than most.  You're comparing what's essentially a full PC at this point to only one PC component.

The RTX 2080 Max-Q tops at 7TFLOPs but averages at 6.5 TFLOPs (2944 shaders x 2ops MADD @ 1.1GHz), so the 10.3 TFLOPs PS5 consuming the same power as the laptop actually makes it a lot more power efficient.

What was really the point of this article?

[Skepller]

What a useless article, it requires more power because it's more powerful... lol

[MOFO]

Are the writers here retarded

[Random dude]

Yes, indeed they're
