Both the digital edition and the disc-drive edition of the PlayStation 5 have been notoriously difficult to obtain. The pre-order system was a mess, then every retailer on the planet sold out, then the console started showing up on Ebay at ridiculously high prices. But now that it’s officially in stock at Walmart, you can get it for its retail price. The traditional disc drive version of the console is $499, while the digital edition, which can only play downloaded games, is $399. Remember when the PS3 launched at $599? It may be hard to get your hands on a PS5, but at least the price is reasonable.

The new line of Xbox consoles has been a bit easier to grab than a PlayStation, but getting one still feels like winning the lottery. Whether you’ve been looking for the beefy Xbox Series X or its slimmed down little brother, the Xbox Series S, now is your chance. The X is your traditional next-gen console. It’s got all the muscle you need: 120 frames per second, HDR, and 12 teraflops of processing power. If you want an immersive, cutting-edge gaming, go for the X. The S, on the other hand, is cheaper and more in line with the Xbox One or PS4. They’ll both play Halo Infinite, and that’s the most important part.

How powerful is the M1 Max’s GPU? Estimates say possibly more than a PS5
apple m1 max chip

Apple announced several new products at its Apple Unleashed event on Monday, the most impressive of which was the M1 Max that's coming to MacBook Pro 2021 models. This revision to the M1 chip bumps up the core count across the CPU and GPU, with the latter scaling up to 32 cores. And a new performance estimate suggests that those cores could be more powerful than the PlayStation 5.

Notebookcheck performed an analysis of the M1 Max's GPU cores to estimate the performance. Using the M1 as a baseline, the outlet was able to extrapolate that the 32-core M1 Max could produce about 10.4 teraflops of GPU power. That's based off of the 8-core M1 chip, which produces about 2.6 teraflops of GPU power.
