People have been mentioned the Teraflops but they're forgetting or don't know that:
Performance improvements come from die shrinks, you can fit more in a smaller area
and if they redesigned how they execute specific operations, it performs more efficiently
clock for clock.
Variable Rate Shading, Dynamic Resolutions, Temporal Anti-aliasing and so on allow
for considerably more stable and better looking images than in generations past.
This is why Xbox One X and Ps4 Pro could go toe to toe with machines that were
many more times the cost, the experimentation to see if weaker hardware can
present stable images was already happening this generation.
Xbox Series S, realistically, is a phenomenal value.
Yes. The resolution will be lower.
And yes, it will have a slightly slower CPU and less memory.
I think the overall impact this will have on how games work on the
system will be minimal.
Damn good engineering, two times in a row.
Microsoft isn't playing around

I haven't seen this video posted so I'm going to throw it in here.
Features the demonstrations for the software.

Slower GPU, CPU will be the same speed as SXPeople have been mentioned the Teraflops but they're forgetting or don't know that:

$500 for the series X....watch sony be like:
350/450 from Sony calling it
They are willing to take the loss because they can recover it from their software sales, accessories, etc.
They will also price cut the PS4 Pro if they have to
They will at most do 400/500 and no higher

This is a scam, why not make the cheaper one a 100 dollars cheaper but without the cd drive and as powerful as the other one?
They boast cuz it’s small like anyone cares?

All things considered the entire system is clocked slower from the CPU to the Memory
to the GPU.

3.6/3.4 vs. 3.8/3.6 (for the CPU)

“We’re gonna have both the cheapest and most powerful console next gen”
It’s all bs semantics
They want people to have a cheap option. Also, it's a good balance cost wise, as all you lose is some storage, 4K, and the disc drive. If you buy games digitally and don't care about 4K, it's a no brainer.
Also, remember there are people out there really fukked up by the pandemic, and we're likely heading into a recession or even depression. A cheap console and Game Pass is a good gamble to keep sales up no matter how bad the economy gets.

Could be confusion between the different sources.
I've seen several say 3.6 (3.4 for smt) as the base clock for the CPU on
Series S and 3.8(3.6 for smt) as the base on series X (this is also
in the official reveal from the chief engineer).
Check the above video I posted where an Engineer states this at 1:25 seconds in.

You could be right, hearing different things too in regards to 3.6 and 3.8
